Raspberry Pi 500+

Описание: The Raspberry Pi 500+ takes a Raspberry Pi 500 and adds an M.2 NVMe SSD and an illuminated, mechanical keyboard. This video provides a review and demo, including full specifications, initial setup, and performance tests.

You can learn more about the Pi 500+ in its press release here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/the-...

Please note that the Raspberry Pi 500+ shown in this video was supplied before launch by Raspberry Pi, but that they had no input to, or control over, this review. However, as I accepted something of value from a third party to help make this video, it is flagged as a “paid promotion”.

My previous review of the Pi 500 is here:    • Raspberry Pi 500: Best Linux Keyboard PC?  

And of the Pi 400 here:    • Raspberry Pi 400: New All-in-One Pi!

INCREASING SSD SPEED (NB: at your own risk)
======================

To change the PCIe speed from 2.0 to 3.0, open a terminal and enter:

sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt

In the resultant editor, scroll to the bottom, and under [all] add the two lines:

dtparam=nvme
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3

As shown in the video, then save the file, reboot the Pi, and your SSD should operate faster!

Note that to perform the speed test shown in the video, you will need to install HD Parameters. You can do this in the terminal by entering:

sudo apt install hdparm
