Custom M901 PCIe to M.2 NVMe SSD Board Shield for Pi 5

Geekworm PCIe to M.2 NVME Shield Sets:

[NVMe SSD Incompatibility List]

We recommend avoiding the following NVMe SSD drives which is equipped with a Phison controller due to their proven incompatibility:

WD Blue SN550/SN580 series (Solved! Refer to New rpi-eeprom-update 2024-01-24 WD Blue SN550 nvme works now.)

WD Green SN350 series

WD Black SN850 series

WD Black SN770

Inland tn446 nvme drive

Corsair MP600 SSD

Other NVMe SSD drivers equipped with the same Phison controller

Samsung PM991

These specific models have demonstrated compatibility issues, and it is advisable to avoid them when considering NVMe SSD options for the X10xx series NVMe shield. You can run "lspci" command to check the controller brand of the SSD.

We hope the Raspberry Pi Foundation will resolve this issue soon.

[Note]

• Compatible with M.2 NVMe SSDs

• Not compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devices

• Older NVMe drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives

• New NVMe SSDs are not partitioned and will need to be both partitioned and formatted when first connected to the Raspberry Pi before they will be accessed in the Explorer.

• We get feedback from customers that Polaris Controller will also have compatibility problems. Please replace the other SSD test if it not work, whether it is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 does not depend on the X100X series boards
