Most NVMe SSDs work directly. Ensure it's M-key (not SATA). Only avoid Phison controllers (e.g. WD Blue SN550/SN580, Green SN350, Black SN850) unless firmware-updated. Check FFC seating and update the Pi 5 bootloader. Why is my SSD not detected? Most NVMe SSDs work directly. Ensure it's M-key (not SATA). Only avoid Phison controllers (e.g. WD Blue SN550/SN580, Green SN350, Black SN850) unless firmware-updated. Check FFC seating and update the Pi 5 bootloader. What is the power limit for connected SSDs? The FFC ribbon provides 5W (5V/1A) max. Some high-performance drives need more. For full stability, simply add a 2-pin cable from the XH2.54 port to the Pi's GPIO (cable not included). What is the power limit for connected SSDs? The FFC ribbon provides 5W (5V/1A) max.

Only Phison-based SSDs (e.g. WD Blue SN550/SN580, Green SN350, Black SN850) have known issues; the latest firmware often resolves this. Most other drives work perfectly. Check our wiki for updates.

Most other drives work perfectly. Check our wiki for updates. Is PCIe Gen 3.0 speed guaranteed? No, it's certified for PCIe 2.0, which is sufficient for most projects. You may force Gen 3.0 in the config file, but this is optional and may cause instability with some drives. Is PCIe Gen 3.0 speed guaranteed? No, it's certified for PCIe 2.0, which is sufficient for most projects. You may force Gen 3.0 in the config file, but this is optional and may cause instability with some drives. My Pi keeps crashing under heavy disk load. Why? Your SSD likely exceeds the 5W FFC limit during peak loads. The fix is simple: add a 2-pin cable from the XH2.54 port to the Pi's GPIO for stable, direct 5V power. My Pi keeps crashing under heavy disk load. Why?
