Does anyone know:
1. If it has to be a specific NVME card? My one is Samsung EVO 860, 250Gb.
2. If it's somehow related to the adapter problem? It thought the issue was only about the geometry and didn't affect functionality.
Cheers.
The Samsung EVO 860 is a SATA drive, not an NVMe drive at all. Yes, they use the same M.2 connector, but electrically they're different. So it's not compatible with the Pinebook Pro.
Hmm. Okay. Thank you

Besides that, so far it can only be used as a 'storage' not a boot drive.
Though a recent email from Mrfixit says it 'may' be close to working as a boot drive. !
