In this video I test every NVMe hat I can get my with my Raspberry Pi 5.

Maximize your Raspberry Pi 5's performance with a 1 TB EVO NVMe SSD, overclocked to Gen 3 speeds for accelerated functionality across all tasks. This setup, inclusive of a CORAL AI edge TPU and webcam for Frigate real-time person detection, displays on an external HDMI monitor while maintaining an impressive low power consumption of about 7 watts—a stark contrast to the 30 watts drawn by a standard LED light. Traditional SD cards, despite being a staple since Raspberry Pi 1, fall short in speed, storage capacity, and reliability, with even high-end options like the SanDisk Extreme capped at 80MB/s read speeds. The introduction of NVMe support on Raspberry Pi 5 revolutionizes storage solutions with significantly faster speeds and higher reliability. Our in-depth performance analysis explores the best setups, covering installation, overclocking to PCIe Gen 3 speeds, boot time benchmarks, read/write speeds, general performance via Geekbench, and power efficiency. Additionally, a comparison with previous Raspberry Pi models highlights noteworthy enhancements. This guide includes practical insights on setup configurations, from physical assembly to making the SSD bootable, alongside considerations for choosing the right SSD size to avoid partitioning issues. Discover the transformative impact of NVMe on Raspberry Pi 5 and unlock unparalleled performance and efficiency for your projects."

Key Highlights:
- *Enhanced Raspberry Pi 5 Performance:* Leveraging 1 TB EVO NVMe SSD and Gen 3 overclocking.
- *Innovative Use Cases:* Incorporating CORAL AI edge TPU and real-time detection on minimal power.
