Very good.
Easy to fit. Bought with a cheap 512Gb NVME M2 (Fikwot) and I am now launched into the 4th dimension of Pi'ing. I don't think that is a word but, you know what I mean.I thought it didn't make much of a difference at first. Then when I changed my mind about what OS to use, I booted from the SD card again and it was so slow. Booting from this is considerably faster. Well packaged and works perfectly.Also bought a UGreen USB-C caddy for the NVME and you can use Pi Imager straight to the drive in the USB caddy to install. Then just put the drive in here and you are ready to go.

Works well
Fits easily, works well. Do wish the PCIe cable was a bit easier to fit but...

Works a treat
Straightforward enough to fit & works well with a recently redundant Kingston A2000.

Perfect and a must have in my view
Worked the first time without a hitch with simple to follow instructions. Only criticism is about the ribbon cable which is about 3cms long and can be quite fiddly to install. Also, It doesn't account for passive heatsinks for installation, so will need modding with brackets to affix over it. Overall impressive performance, hopefully remains that way :-)

Works great. No Issues

Good SSD Board
It comes with a full fitting kit, with long extenders from the PI board. A full Pi 5 heatsink and fan easilly fits under the board, the fan is only very slightly obscured, but there is enough room betwen fan and board for airflow. Wery easy to fit to PI and SSD card. Set up instructions could be better, but there are some good Youtube set up videos for Pi 5 and SSD's. NB the M2 SSD MUST be formatted before trying to use. You might want to consider buying a USB C SSD M2 adapter/case for that, damn useful to have one of those around anyway.

Work's just fine.
Used this to add a 4TB drive to m y Pi5 running a Plex server. I already had the drive configured using a USB enclosure, but wanted something more fixed. Have been looking at a few, but found this was a nice compact board. Booted up fine and kept my existing configuration.

Gen 3 = 800 MB read / write (as expected)
I originally bought a NVME adapter board that mounted under the Pi 5, but due to the way I am using my Pi, it was a pain in the rear. So I got this very tidy, super convenient board, instead. The official cooling unit mounts as normal, and the board gives sufficient space for it to suck in the air with minimal resistance. Fully recommend.
