WD NVMe not recognized - fbshilli - 04-19-2020 At first, I tried to install a Samsung NVME that kept crashing the PBP. After reading about the power problems, I checked the compatibility chart and exchanged it for a WD NVMe BLue SN550 1TB drive. Now the system does not even recognize the drive is there. Can anyone suggest why this is happening? RE: WD NVMe not recognized - pjsf - 04-19-2020 (04-19-2020, 02:24 PM)fbshilli Wrote: At first, I tried to install a Samsung NVME that kept crashing the PBP.

According to the specs I just looked at that"s a SATA type drive and shouldn't work at all, only pcie type drives are supported. I don't know why it in the comparability table as working, maybe WD are using confusing part numbers? But that's probably what you should check first.

Yes, this is a SATA drive. I hope some can edit the compatibility chart so others won't be confused. RE: WD NVMe not recognized - pljanson - 04-20-2020 unfortunately this happen to me too! I'll did a quick order based on the compatibility list ;( i'll put the SSD in my desktop and order a better compatible one, PS I added a WARNING in the compatibility list! If others agree set it to NOT compatible! Regards Paul RE: WD NVMe not recognized - slyecho - 04-23-2020 I just bought a WD Blue SN550 250GB NVMe drive (product code WDS250G2B0C) and it works fine in my Pinebook Pro. Maybe different sizes have different interfaces? RE: WD NVMe not recognized - tophneal - 04-24-2020 (04-19-2020, 06:39 PM)fbshilli Wrote: Thank you! Yes, this is a SATA drive.

RE: WD NVMe not recognized - xmixahlx - 04-24-2020 Are you sure that is a WD SN550 1TB drive? I thought these were NVME and was looking at that personally as it looks like the best low power option. edit: this one? https://shop.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/wd-blue-sn550-nvme-ssd#WDS100T2B0C |
