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!
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.
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.
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.
I am more a fan of the Geekworm X1003 HAT, because it doesn't obstruct the original RaspberryPi fan as much and is still compatible with the original RaspberryPi case.
The whole point of RasPi5 is the wonder of running your single applications of a credit card sized box also its low power consumption. Pi5 + monitor = 32watts
@@djedUVprojector but my fanless N100 PC is also running at 24W from a USB-C PD, and no larger than my iphone. Can run all Windows applications and Linux.
Been using A high grade camera microSD's for over 6 years now and they are still the same as new with heavy use. Sure cheap microSD's are never intended to last and yea the the higher grades might cost more but the usability far outweighs the costs of replacing the cheap ones.
I just tried hdparm on an old x64 core2 duo running Ubuntu off a spinning disk, 76.38 MB/sec So your SD card is faster than a old school (real) hard drive.... kind of crazy. Mind you that x64 install is nice and stable, unlike running Ubuntu off an SD card in my 'Pi 400, where the odd corrupted card was almost a norm, I was all but ready to write that '400 off as a useless joke.
This m.2 addon isn't compatible woth their official case fan, so i ditched it and went back to usb 3.0 flash storage. It's fast and reliable enough for my use case
Timing buffered disk reads: 2584 MB in 3.00 seconds = 860.81 MB/sec I'm using the Geekworm X1001 with a Crucial P3 500GB (Gen3). I tried using a cheaper fanxiang S660 500GB (Gen4) but my results were inconsistent and frustrating.
G'day, Hi there big fella, thanks for the update. I have been on the NVME train for a couple of months now using the pimoroni HAT but have found to some expense (a few hundred $) that the pimoroni board is a little fussy about which NVMe drives it works with (I am now the proud owner of 4 NVMe drives that wont work with the RPi 5). Does the official board run with all NVMe drives? Hope you are doing well - Johnno
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'm watching the load times and think "I wonder if this thing is as fast loading Proxmox" and bam, he loads Proxmox.... Talk about knowing your audience.
Wait. How the hell did you get a Phizon to work?? Those controllers were shit in the first releases of NVME hats. I had to go thru a couple different NVME drives before I found one that worked. I never could get a card with Phizon Controller to work, LOL!
not even close to the best upgrade for a pi 5......best would be one of the argon case with that has this built into the case, unless of course you want to print your own case then it might be a close second since argon's cases are aluminum for the most part. I have the neo 5 case and its great.
