This was VERY helpful! Thanks for the motivation!

[@voltlog]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks a bunch for the tutorial and all the info, man! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@voltlog]

Thanks, you too!

[@brettleach9281]

Excellent work on this video. I use my Pi 5 with a Pimoroni SSD base and it also works very well.

[@voltlog]

Cool, thanks

[@EdSym1]

Your tutorial was very helpful. I had no problem with the setup. I used a SKHynix Gold P31 1TB SSD.

[@voltlog]

Great to hear!

[@matthewreynolds8025]

Ive been multi booting the Pi4 from a SATA SSD. runs like a little beast. Ive overclocked it to 2100 aswell.

[@voltlog]

I'm assuming running through a USB 3.0 to sata adapter? Which is not bad, still gets pretty good speeds.

[@Hafenstrand5]

How would I connect the NVMe drive to my computer to flash the image? Is there a way to migrate the SDCard to the SSD?

[@user-wf9wq9kq6u]

does the case cause issues with bluetooth? also, do you know if you can prioritise usb3 boot over nvme boot?

[@mikoyangurevic8634]

With Raspberry Pi OS hibernation, suspend to ram is available? HDMI CEC works for wake up with Raspberry Pi OS? It doesn't works with Libreelec.

[@iamliquidx]

Raspberry pi can now be booted up without an sd card after the latest update ,just connect an ethernet cable and ssd and you are good to go , provided u r on latest firmware

[@Obzrve]

Yeah, I’m looking to buy pi 5. I want to into cv. Do you have a community help the setup. I have a pi 3 and pi 4. Starting get back in it. I’m a computer science student

[@JenkinsStevenD]

It is interesting that the PCI can only supply 5W. Most of the websites I've visited regarding pi 5 compatibility all say the samsung EVO 980 PRO 500GB and 1TB models are compatible and then VoltLog says 5W max and both of those pull more than 5W. We will see.

[@R2AUK]

👍I wish there were a similar product with 100% passive cooling. I'm using a case with passive cooling at the moment and it works very well with Rpi5 but unfortunately it will not fit the NVMe board.

[@user-yp2ps3gn3x]

Try the Argon One Ver. 3. It comes in slightly different flavors, but one of them includes an NVMe bay. It also expands the micro-mdmi's to full size, and comes (optional) with a DAC sound board and jack. I got mine for 45 Pounds.

[@douro20]

I'm waiting on a Waveshare NVMe HAT. It's shipping directly from Waveshare in Shenzhen.

[@Gerald-iz7mv]

whats Waveshare NVMe HAT?

[@douro20]

@@Gerald-iz7mvThe product name is "PCIe to M.2 HAT+", SKU number 26853. It has a small footprint and can hold 2230 and 2242 drives.

[@Milkex]

the orange pi 3b beat the pi 5 to the market by a month or two, or am I crazy? great vid!

[@voltlog]

I have no idea, I think very few people care about what orange pi does in the market when compared to how many people care about the raspberry pi.

[@shamrockisland]

For new user the command section isnt explaim or shown clearly.

[@johnlaurencepoole6408]

FYI I just deployed Gentoo Linux booting from an NVMe using the Gentoo Raspberry Pi wiki.

[@2000jago]

Why was my comment deleted?

[@cmuller1441]

If the goal is reliability, you probably should stay with pcie gen 2. The little speed boost in actual tasks is not worth the risk.

[@voltlog]

I would agree, if highest reliability is needed then always stick with what is officially supported.

[@dmckrk]

Something is seriously wrong about script for pibenchmarks, most nvme's on pi5 with pcie 3.0 scores about 40k. On Rock5b, which has 4x such lanes it was about 20k. I also checked it on my 13gen i9 with 4x pcie 4.0 in RAID and got about 25k.. this setup is capable of 12TB/s and its half of result for chepest 2230 nvme on pi5 :)

[@steve_oscar]

Cost over 120 euro my god

Raspberry PI is dead. Jetson Nano company is now one of the largest companies in the world,
