Good review Don. Hope your treatments going well 🙏

Thank you for videos Don. Hope your treatment is going well.

I've been using an attached USB SSD on my pi 4 for 3 years. Zero issues.

[Zhixalom]

I disagree, that HAT (hardware attached on top) version is not the best. Simply because it forces you to use a very low profile cooling fan and even so, is still obstructing the airflow in the process. I have instead chosen the "RPi5 NVMe Shield X1002 V1.1" from SupTronics Technologies, which is a HAB (hardware attached on bottom) version.

Have a request... Can you try OLlama with Raspberry Pi 5 using Coral or Hailo AI Accelerator

[haydenc]

I install preload which caches highly used apps to memory, it will make it alot snappier for apps you use regularly

[DavidDavisL]

Nice - will keep this in mind in case I get a Pi 5 down the road. Definitely a significant bump in performance from USB SSD to NVME. What surprised me the most was the Proxmox install - had never considered that on a Pi. Looking forward to what you come up with next!

I bought both pineberry and pimaroni nvme adapters, pimaroni works fine with my WD 530. Pineberry doesn’t boot all the times with the same drive.

There is a big design flaw on this addon, and its that it makes it hard to give the CPU cooling. I've seen some other SSD boards, which mounts on the underside of the Raspberry instead, making cooling easy on the cpu and other ic's.

GPIO pins are gone and unusable if you don’t have larger jumper pins.

Wonderful video! ❤
Finally someone has done this comprehensive test. I've been looking for it for a long time. Thank you very much. SATA HAT would be very interesting for me and a speed test for it would be brilliant, I have a lot of SSDs lying around.

Thanks for covering this topic. Looks like a great way to upgrade my Pi 5

[TechOverwrite]

Great info thanks, hope you're doing well 🙂

[StuBoyUK]

Thanks for the video I'm looking to fitting an nvme too my rpi5 but need some pointers ideally I want to be able to dual boot to graphic and non graphic what do you recommend and also the expansion card I have my setup housed in a geeekpi mini tower case which has a fan and heat sink which rise above the processor so any help would be appreciated

I just tried hdparm on a 'Pi 400 running Ubuntu off of a USB M.2, 250.92 MB/sec
Firefox takes 17 seconds to load to a Google search as it's Home page.

Hello, thanks for the video. Which is fastest with Rpi 5 - Sata SSD through USB or NVme M.2 SSDs with the HAT?

[dcyt]

Best upgrade is the Intel N100 mini PC, because, after you add the case, memory, fan, everything up, it’s more expensive than a mini PC.

[steaders]

I have the AI hat. Can I use NVMe as well somehow? Thank you

[TasosManolidis]

is it possible to use ssd also the halio ai kit at the same time ?so can we use two pci at the same time ?

[ScottPlude]

How are you keeping it cool with the hat on top?
