The Pironman 5 includes the Pi5 NVMe PIP (PCIe Peripheral Board), a PCIe adapter board specifically designed for NVMe solid-state drives. This board supports four sizes of NVMe SSDs: 2230, 2242, 2260, and 2280, all of which can be installed in an M.2 M key slot. The connection is certified for Gen 2.0 speeds (5 GT/sec), but can be forced to Gen 3.0 (10 GT/sec) for faster performance.
Compatible NVMe SSDs include:
ADATA Legend 700, 800, and XPG SX8200 Pro, Axe Memory Generic Drive, Crucial P2, P3, P3 Plus M.2, Inland PCIe NVMe SSD, KIOXIA EXCERIA and EXCERIA G2 NVMe SSD, Kingston KC3000, NV2, Lexar NM710, NM620, Netac NV3000, NV2000 NVMe SSD, Origin Inception TLC830 Pro NVMe SSD, Pineberry Pi Pinedrive (2280), PNY CS1030, Sabrent Rocket 4.0, Rocket Nano, Samsung 970 EVO Plus, 980, 980 Pro, Team MP33, Western Digital SN850, SN740, SN570, SN530, and Black SN750 SE (Phison Controller), and Blue SN550/SN580 series.
(If you know how to install the latest rpi-eeprom updates, pieeprom-2024-01-24.bin fixed the Western Digital Blue SN550 nvme boot issue.
Incompatible NVMe SSDs:
Due to compatibility issues, we recommend avoiding the following NVMe SSD drives equipped with a Phison controller:
Western Digital Green SN350 series,Black SN850 series, Black SN770, Inland tn446 nvme drive, Corsair MP600 SSD, Samsung PM991, Kingston OM8SEP4256Q-A0, Transcend 110Q (TS500GMTE110Q). Specifically, SN350 and SN570 prevent the Raspberry Pi 5 from booting at all.

I gave 4 stars as the product seemed to be well made but I was unfortunate to receive a defective product and decided to get a refund instead of a replacement. There was a small chip broken off of the PIP circuit board. The rest of the package was fine. It really looks like a great case for the Pi 5.

It took about 40 min. to put it all together. The instructions were clear enough but you have to be paying attention to get all of the standoffs in their correct positions. A least one of the clearances-between the CPU fan and the pinout extension board is extremely tight. I was delighted when everything worked at the first power-up and is still working fine. The CPU fan does a very good job at keeping the CPU temperature around 58C even under heavy loads and consequenly the colorful case fans seldom come on. I couldn't find instructions for how to change that threshold temperature. I really liked that the NVMe stick could easily be accessed by removing one side of the enclosure. I also liked the monitoring display that was easy to read despite being minute.

It’s a nice assembly kit, makes your Pi5 a desktop computer with easy access to all ports, and adds a place to use an M.2 SSD. Everyone says these Pi’s run warm, excellent cooling in this case, and still quiet. Instructions almost excellent. Happy purchase!

Love the design of a mini case for the Raspberry 5. INcluding the daughterboard to hook up a NVME SSD drive to it. And to be able to look inside the case at the same time with the glowing RGB fans going in the back side. And the major fan for the cooling of the CPU and graphics module.

The only thing that I don't like about this case is that delivery took a couple of weeks as they were out of stock, otherwise it is terrific.I decided to move my life from an aging Ubuntu laptop onto a Pi 5 after testing one for a client. The Pi 5 is perfect for the work I do, but needs a case with a fan, and space for a NVMe drive. I browsed a lot of small black boxes and then found the Pironman 5. Technically it fitted met the requirements but aesthetically it blew the competition out of the water! It's a real statement piece.Assembly is easy if you are confident with electronics and tech, but might be a challenge for a complete beginner. However, the included instructions are excellent and there is even a step by step video. The only thing I've changed on the build is to omit the foam feet. With connectors attached the box is more stable without them.Apart from the look, two things make this stand out in the field:1. Full size HDMI connectors. I have always found that larger external connectors are more reliable in the long run.2. The OLED display. Having a really quick look at what the CPU, RAM, DIsk and temp is doing is far, far more useful than you would imagine.One things buyers should note: If you are using an OS like Ubuntu (which I do) and you have an NVMe drive to make bootable etc, then that is beyond the scope of the instructions and you will need to use Google of ChatGPT to complete the job. That includes getting the OLED running. It's not at all hard, but it's not out of the box.So, all in all one highly recommended case for your Pi 5.

I watched several videos before deciding to purchase this PIRONMAN5 case. So much assembly seemed daunting, but I was able to assemble it with no trouble thanks to the detailed instructions enclosed in the package as well as the instructions available on the manufacturer's website. For almost every step, there is a spare screw or rivet in each package, so fear not! The fact that the case provides full size HDMI ports and an easy to access SD port is great. The little status screen is pretty neat too, providing details like IP address, temperature, CPU usage, Memory usage and storage use. I paired this with one of the recommended M.2 drives and the entire assembly worked from the get go. No problems whatsoever!All of the pieces are well machined and went together smoothly. A pair of tweezers and a MAGNETIC screwdriver will be your friend for assembly. A screwdriver is included, however, it's not magnetic. The price is on the higher side for a small case, but the quality is evident and I am considering another one for a second build considering how much I enjoyed putting this together!

Pretty happy with this case. I was looking for a case that would accommodate my nvme 2280 but have some room for ventilation. After playing around with a few cases, this was the one to have.It's a fair bit of kit to assemble so take your time. Some parts/screws have changed since the instructions were created but overall it was easy enough to figure out.I like the full size hdmi ports on the back and the ability to customized the fan colours or change fan settings such as always on our performance.The ice cooler is like other configs it's not on always but I set mine to come on at 50c. If you monitor the temp through the oled you can see the temp when the ice cooler kicks in.Overall very satisfied I got my kit for a hundred bucks Cdn. Looks great on the desk and runs Ubuntu with other services running (samba, plex) and doesn't even break a sweat.If you are looking for a solid case that supports nvme, go for it. You will have a lot of fun building it too!

Buyers Beware, the script hasn't been updated properly and Pironman5 currently does not work. Keep tabs on Sunfounder forums for updates but as of 12/07, running Raspi OS 64 BIT desktop on a pi5, it does not work!

Facile e divertente da assemblare, qualche particolare migliorabile (ad esempio il fissaggio con doppio adesivo del piccolo display). Il software di gestione delle ventole e dei led non è un gran che, ma tutto sommato non se ne sente bisogno: simpatico il piccolo display Oled che visualizza alcuni dai base del sistema. Silenziosissimo (ventole spente) in gran parte dei normali utilizzi, compresa la visione di film s schermo pieno.

This is a very well designed product. The instruction manual is excellent. I had a problem when connected with a new 5 volt 5 amp power supply nothing worked. I returned the power supply for a different one from CanaKit and that didn't work either. I contacted CanaKit and it was suggested that a problem was with the connections inside the Pironman5. I dismantled the Pironman5 enough to get at the USB/HDMI expansion board. I gently moved it back and forth to re-seat it then everything worked great. Would buy other products from Sunfounder.
