The Raspberry Pi can now boot off NVMe drives natively—assuming you have the right hardware.
NVMe Boot is currently in beta, but will hopefully be available on all Compute Module 4’s soon! This is the fastest way to run a Raspberry Pi, but is it better than just using an NVMe SSD using a USB 3.0 adapter on the Pi 4 model B? Watch the video and find out!
Here are all the products I used/demoed (some are affiliate links):
