I don't see my nmve in Orange Pi 5

General Discussion

Does DietPi have NMVE M2 SSD support? I have an Orange Pi 5 and put an nmve and I cannot see it in lspci or lsblk :frowning: why? the nmve brand is Transcend. Thanks in advance!

Maybe your NMVE M2 is not compatible with the OrangePi 5. For testing, download the official Orange Pi Debian image and try this one. Does your SSD is showing up there?

I don’t have time to try another OS as im in a hurry for my project. So im going to return this Transcend NVME M.2 2242 of 240GB. Thanks anyway.

It should not take longer than 5-10 minutes to flash a new SD card and to do a basic check if your drive is detected. Personally I tried this one Transcend M.2 SSD. But was not working on DietPi nor on Orange Pi Debian. Ordered following now Toshiba 128GB M.2 2230, as I have seen it working on this blog post. But will take 2 weeks to be shiped from US to EU. :roll_eyes:

The point is that I have the orange pi with a not official disipation case that is not easy to open and back. And I already did that many times and im tired haha. But I tried with an M.2 SSD Enclosure in Windows and it was detected but I couldnt format it… maybe mine is even with errors. Anyway Thanks for the information I will go for that Toshiba in the future, for now I will stick in the sd with DietPi in my project :slight_smile: I attach an image of the case im using for my project:
