Raspberry PI 5 +Active Cooler + NVMe Base = Great Performance

Raspberry PI 5 +Active Cooler + NVMe Base = Great Performance

I finally got hold of the Raspberry PI 5 and in this video, I take a look. I add an Active Cooler fan and PIMoroni NVMe Base to allow me to boot from SSD. I take a look at the performance of the RPI5 in comparison to my RPI4 booting from USB SSD.

CPU and Memory performance were reported as up over 80% by sysbench. File system writes were up 60% compared to my USB adapter SSDs. All locally measured performance may not be the same as your environment.

Great video from PIMoroni on installing the NVMe Base.
