Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe works on workstation but not Pinebook Pro
#1
I have a Samsung 970 EVO SSD 1TB - M.2 NVMe in a SSK Aluminum M.2 NVME external case, see here for the product on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MNF...UTF8&psc=1

I installed the gnome-disks utility on the Pinebook Pro to assist me with this.

NVMe and enclosure work without problem on my workstation running Fedora 30. Format, partition, read, write, all good.


dmesg reports:

However, the Pinebook Pro recognizes the enclosure when plugged in to a USB 3 port, assigning it the device file /dev/sda, but gnome-disks reports "No Media".  dmesg reports:

I note that there is a package named nvme-cli, is this necessary?

Same problem with the default operating system, and with an install of the Mandriva KDE image.

Is this the problem: [ 1499.490756] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Sense Key : Hardware Error [current], is the Pinebook Pro not capable of supplying sufficient current for this device?


Thanks for any ideas offered!
