is there anything i have do for the pinebook to see the nvme?

[xmixahlx]

what is your os and kernel? a recent manjaro kernel should work if nvme is enabled in the config.

... i am assuming you installed the nvme adapter and an nvme drive? sata wont work. what drive are you using?

it is likely you just need to reseat the cable.

@andrewiassur I'll repeat what @xmixahlx said, please let us know the manufacturer and model of your NVMe device.

Not all M.2 SSDs are NVMe. There have been people here who have bought M.2 SATA SSDs not realizing that SATA won't work. (Or not realizing it was a SATA SSD.)
Pinebook Pros only support PCIe based NVMe type SSDs in the PCIe NVMe adapter.

There is potential work of a new M.2 adapter, but it's not publicly available. Nor are it's features clearly defined yet.

i'm running ubuntu mate.

i didnt realized it was a sata ssd. i had a spare drive laying around and thought this would be a good use for it. thanks guys for your time.
