Beginners • Re: raspberry pi5 cluster to use in a multi-charger hub

If you plan to add an NVMe or USB flash storage device to any of the PI 5 computers in the cluster that Pi will need 5A. If they all run no monitor, no keyboard and no storage except SD card, then 3A will be enough.

Since three Pi computers is a very small cluster, I'd encourage you to use three official Pi 5 wall warts and a multi-outlet mains power strip.

Edit: Cross posted with the above reply in which three wall warts were also recommended.

can you recommend of which ?

I think there is an official Pi 5 power supply sold in each country where Pi 5's are available.

I don't know where you live, but have you checked the same merchant where you get the Pi?

Select the 27W supply and then specify your own country to get the correct plug.
