Beginners • Re: [solved] You know the Pimoroni NVME Duo board is Gen 2.......

Hi,

These nvme base hats look interesting but do not have access to them, perhaps someone here can answer a question I have.
From what I have read a few people running nvme often at gen3 have seen random errors....
Could this be because of power dips?

I think it is well understood that the Pi5's PCIe interface does not meet the spec for operating at Gen3 speeds due out-of-spec jitter on the clock signal.
Observed error rates will depend on an individual SSD's tolerance to clock jitter.
I don't remember seeing any reports of non-recoverable transport errors, but I choose to run my PCIe at Gen2 as that is quite fast enough for me.
