As long as the PCIe is connected correctly, it's just a normal PCIe device so doesn't need something special for the HAT to work

Network boot is awasome , i have domotiz on bookworm with ZWAVE-JS-UI in docker and upgrading with a second rpi 5 did break zwave on trixie , so needed to ga back on the test server to Debian , it also works holding shift when a os is on the SSD so only when it is empty, that's great , can changen OS within minutes.

Thanks a lot!
@hansoak3664 Says:
Thanks for the PCI Gen 3 setting tip. My numbers were the same as yours in the video, before and after. Sweet!
@barrybpl Says:
Well I never knew that... I just reloaded a pi500+ by writing an sdcard, booting that, downloading an os image to it and dd'ing that to the nvme.
@tenminutetokyo2643 Says:
The only thing that really bugs me about Pi is how the cables have to be plugged into two sides.

Hello! Back again! Your tutorial was SO HELPFUL! I got the same case and similar SSD and I got a speed of 836.05 MB/sec! Very nice! Thanks again!
@Grid21 Says:
As of watching this video, it's August 5th, 2025, and my eeprom was this. So would I be able to do a network internet download and install of Raspberry Pi 5 to just an NVME SSD then and have no issues?

current day you can now enable gen-3 in raspi-config
@magoolew5131 Says:
Did you have an adapter board on the Pi 5 to use the NVME?. Was it part of the case? I don't have an NVME slot on mine. Also, I just set my computer up tonight and don't have a programmer to use the Pi sim card. It's not in any case right now. I just ordered an adapter to program the sim card with though because I'm very new to a Pi board. That will probably be the easiest way for me to get it programmed.

I was just holding down the shift key to get to the boot menu which doesn’t work. You have to instead tap it over and over again while it’s rebooting. I’m test driving PINN on a 2TB SSD right now, and was having trouble getting into the boot menu

How do we clone curent raspberry pi os to nvme ssd using terminal
@nostalgia85music Says:
If i use Ubuntu from the scratch, can i use the commands you shown to set gen 3 nvme or do i have to use the pi OS first? Thanks

Thank you so much! Your videos are immensely informative.

Excellent explanation. Solved my issue as a newbie to the rpi
@robgauthier9249 Says:
Is there any way you could show us how to install plex on a raspberry pi5.
I can get plex on ok but when I go into library my movies will not show up for me to make a movie list.
However on the os desktop I can see all my files on my WD usb hard drive.
Can you help

@Robert-cd2ht Says:
Can the OS software be installed on a blank card over the network? I don't have a card reader.
@user.A9 Says:
The installer downloads, and then I get a black screen with cursor in the upper left.
Do I need an SD card? I’m trying to install to an nvme.
@markparisi9338 Says:
Thanks for this video. It is current, explains everything in simple terms, and goes step by step. I was able to do install a new OS on the SSD in my Raspberry Pi 5.
@louiegoat7179 Says:
Will this change apply itself to the board so that if you change the OS later such as with a different SD card or NVME drive, will it still be Gen 3 speed on the NVME ?
@marvinwaleed Says:
Is there a way to do an off line install to nvme? Or from a local network?
@Pic-vic-Spooling Says:
This is fantastic! MS and Apple will have to eat humble pi!
Let me explain why I suggest a Dram nvme, on windows it will use system ram instead. On a PS5/xbox and some linux systems it will have to use part of the drives storage as 'dram' which is very detrimental on the drives speed. If it is using system memory this wont be a problem other than taking up ram space on the PI 5.
Therefore I intend to use an NVME that has onboard Dram.
@MountainParameters Says:
Now that we are 6 months on, I'm wondering if on a new system holding the shift on the first boot would take me to network install, and, once there, if FydeOS would be one of the options for one of the OS's that can be installed?
@greyowl9295 Says:
howdy-hi, I've seen a myriad of vids on this, question do I need to format ssd???? n if so how do I do this???? has a good one
@MrGeekGamer Says:
This just doesn't work as shown. I have tried with two different Pi 5s. One with and one without an nvme drive and with multiple bootloader versions, the latest being 30/07/24. With wired network and without.
The Pi just sits at the bios screen complaining about not having a boot device.

After grabbing hold of that very strange thing called time and dragging it forward at an accelerated rate... was Mr. Blackscrew ever found??
@ronaldhofman1726 Says:
I wiuyld boot it from a usb stich not a sd csard in a usb card reader , makes no sense to me, do yu have a special reaosn to do it like this?
@epsileth Says:
Using an argon one v3 case, only downside with this and the neo is no easy access for the micro SD card slot, the case has to be opened up. Updates to the eeprom do seem to allow for usb and nvme drive booting, I'm glad at least there is no usb 3 adapter to connect the pi to the lower nvme shell. Have to also add the argon script to control the fan, either the option to have it on all the time at max speed, or to ramp up the speed at certain temperatures. The aluminum / aluminium upper part of the case does a great job at dissapating heat as well.
@LDWilliams Says:
Question -
ext4, fat32 or what format for the SSD please?
Know that it will all be overwritten anyway, but I know that some OS prefer the installation media in a certain format
Thanks

One of the most intriguing Raspberry Pi videos out there. Trying this immediately!
@SuperT3x Says:
Excellent tutorial. I followed it using a GeeekPi N04 M.2 M-Key NVMe SSD Shield for my Raspberry Pi 5 and all went well. I also use Ctrl-x to exit Nano. 🙂
@wojciech3816 Says:
Hello. The idea of installing the system online is great, but the possibility of one system is not a good choice. I have Manjaro Arm Minimal in stalled on RPI3B and it works great.On RPI5 after installing the new EEPROM I unfortunately can't run any other system except Raspian, and I al so wanted to test Manjaro Arm. Regards and I will look for a way to go back to the previous version.

Do I need a wired keyboard to enter in network boot mode? I have a bluetooth wireless one and I cant enter pressing shift key.
@Foysalispbroadbandmetrowifi Says:
That is very exciting and very faster!, I like this , I can use this for NTP server, DHCP Server, DNS server and many more.

When I put the sd card in the raspberry pi 5, monitor shows no display and the raspberry pi 5 fan stop working.
Help please, thank you.
@jensschroder8214 Says:
The prerequisite is that there is a connection to the Internet via the network cable.
Then the bootloader can start the installation program.

USB Audio card for Raspberry Pi 5 only 2 pounds!
Hello Christopher, What a fantastic YouTube channel you have.
I am a big Raspberry Pi fan and build many projects to learn from them. As you know, the Pi5 no longer has a (3mm) analog audio input and output, but by connecting a USB audio card the audio works fantastic. The Raspbian OS does not require separate drivers. The interface works immediately. The device costs about 2 pounds (!) and is available from AliExpress and other sellers.
Keep up the good work! Spread the word! We need knowledge!
@tomlynn1000 Says:
Thank you for the very short path to installing Home Assistant using the boot loader on an NVME drive.

I cannot get this to work on my Pi5. I have the 17/05/2024 bootloader.

Does the config for pcie3 need doing again if you switch to Ubuntu? Is it the same change?

@andreamitchell4758 Says:
Didn't he pi 4 have this too, strange hat the pi5 didn't just ship with it from the beginning
having to use storage media to boot an OS first kind of defeats the purpose IMO
