NVME SSD Samsung 960 EVO Works!

[Tekchip]

Just wanted to report that I've recently installed the Samsung 960 EVO 500GB MZ-V6E500 2280. Running Manjaro ARM as primary drive. I wasn't sure it would work since the wiki shows the 970s don't work. I haven't noticed any heat from the drive but then I haven't done any particularly large read/writes. Seems stable thus far. Been using it about a week at this point.

What tests should I run before updating the wiki to note this thing is good to go?

Is there any other information anyone else would like about this?

Is there a standard for testing or verifying drives before we add them to the wiki? Perhaps I missed this somewhere if it already exists. Maybe worth noting at the top of the page or linking to those type of instructions here if/when they exist. https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebo...patibility
