Kamami is the official distributor of Pimoroni modules and development kits. All products of this brand in our offer are original and come directly from the manufacturer.

Description

Expansion board NVMe Base Duo expands Raspberry Pi 5 with two M.2 M-Key slots for 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 NVMe SSDs. Communication with Raspberry Pi 5 is provided through the PCIe connector using the included FPC cable. Both slots operate behind a PCIe Gen 2 switch and share a single PCIe x1 connection. The manufacturer recommends PCIe Gen 2 x1 operation, providing a total throughput of approximately 450 MB/s, with over 220 MB/s per drive when both drives are accessed simultaneously.

The board can be mounted below or above Raspberry Pi 5, while compliance with the Raspberry Pi PIP design guidelines facilitates integration with the platform. The adapter can be used in file servers, media centres, home automation systems, reverse proxy servers and other projects requiring high-capacity storage or two independent NVMe drives. With up-to-date Raspberry Pi 5 firmware, booting from drives installed in NVMe Base Duo is also supported. Additional +5 V and GND pads are available on the board for supplying extra power to drives with higher power requirements.

Attention!

  • The Raspberry Pi 5 board is not included in the kit.
  • Always power off your RPi and disconnect the power supply before installing or uninstalling the NVMe Base.
