Problem with nvme memory

@Unappu If it works well for @RDFTKV think the driver for you particular SSD is maybe unoptimised and buggy…

its nothing that can be done with some SSD’s who aren’t compatible with the underlying linux kernel…

I would just suggest stopping here, and getting a more compatible SSD for you device,
I highly suggest the WD blue SSD, its quite affordable and a favorite among many in the Linux community for its low power consumption and wide compatibility…

hoping for the best,
cheers

Thanks for your help and sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks to you I learned a lot … :+1:

It is no inconvenience. :slightly_smiling_face:

Have you checked with PNY to see if a firmware update exists for your SSD?
Also, re-seat the SSD. Check it carefully as the SSD needs to seat squarely in the M.2 connector and parallel(zero angle) to the Edge PCB. Misalignment may indue errors.

@Unappu According to the feedback of the experiment I asked you to do, there is no problem with your SSD on edge Android 9.0.

As for the problem that you can’t copy with other software, there may be two reasons as follows:

  1. There is something wrong with this application
  2. You don’t have the storage permission to open this application. You need to long press and hold the application icon, and then pop up the menu to select – app info – > permissions – > storage

Xplore was granted memory permission from the start. Or maybe such a stupid question … why does total commager see this disk in two places, only one of which - the one above - works properly?

@Unappu You can try ES File Explorer or other file Explorer.

I have installed several file explorers. I have searched the internet and I see there is a problem with the write permission on this disk. The Android system is blocking writing to this disk. in linux it’s exactly the same. I cannot write data to this disk. only total cammenger, on Android, in one of two locations, it can easily create, copy, save even large files and directories on this disk

I gave back the old m2 disk. I have bought a new one according to your recommendations. WD Blue SN550 NVME. I learned to use fdisk, mkfs. My questions: what should be the partition table - msdos or gpt, exFat or better ext4, extended or primary partition? My own attempts have failed. Either android does not see the disk or shows disk error and is unable to format. Sorry for google translate

try using ext4, or msdos, its compatible with both linux and android…
ext4 is more preferable due to it having the ability to manage file permissions with linux

Partition extended or primary?

use it as primary partition

I created partitions, it worked but exFat. In Linux I can create directories on it, even copy large files. There are still problems in android … when I create an ext4 partition in Linux I cannot create new directories or copy files to it. The ext4 partition cannot be seen by android

did you not do it as root user ?
put sudo to avoid permission problems…

if it still doesn’t work,
I suggest asking @goenjoy and @hyphop for more help

@Unappu Please follow the command below:
1, On your Ubuntu system computer, do not insert SSD first, execute the following command:

hlm@Server:/$ cat /proc/partitions
major minor  #blocks  name

   8        0  488386584 sda
   8        1  104260375 sda1

2, On your Ubuntu system computer, insert SSD and execute the following command:

hlm@Server:/$ cat /proc/partitions

3, Get your SSD mount path by comparing steps 1 and 2

4, Delete the original partition and create a primary partition of HPFS/NTFS/exFAT type

hlm@Server:/$ sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
