VIM3 and M.2 SSD - which ones work and which ones don't

it is possible, but as a rule, the android asks to fix the disk for itself, that’s good!

yes, it increases the ease for people to use external storage media, no wonder android is loved by many in terms of “easy to use, out of the box”

I had no luck with SK Hynix NVMe PC401M280S SSD. OS is ubuntu linux 4.9.224 (last stable). It is discovered on boot if I add u-boot option: “pci=pcie_bus_safe”:

And even get partitioned by appropriate tool [parted /dev/nvme0n1]
But then it isn’t much usable due to a lot of errors like this:

NVMe SSD Spec: HFS256GD9TNG-62A0A BB
Controller Chip Label: 88SS1093-BTB2 ~ Marvell 88SS1093? (nvme 1.1 spec support)

Will be glad to see some advice for going ahead if any.

Hmm,
SiliconPower P34A80 (512G) : PS5012-E12 (Phison, NVMe 1.3)

  • works well (no errors).

I’ve added it to this list, this is our current record of working SSDs :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah, Thanks!
*
By the way it looks like workability mostly depends on solid-state-drive controller.

So if one collect most forum links then it is obvious that mostly work these controllers:

while probably don’t work ones that have chip:

  • Marvell 88SS1093 (?most Plextor Drives)
  • Micron ‘in-house’ T15SB1 (MTFDHBA512TCK (2200S))
  • PS5012-E12S-32 (SiliconPower 1tb)

Last mentioned controller usually assumes some additional firmware&hardware design from the drive producer as it is mentioned somewhere in reviews.
And that’s maybe the reason it is not completely compatible with available khadas firmware/software…

Correct me, please if I’m wrong.

I think the driver problem is caused by the kernel. It can run many devices in newer kernels.

For example, I have a Sierra LTE7455 modem. Kernel 4.9 does not work. But although I didn’t install any drivers, the 5.7 rc7 also works. Unfortunately “Khadas” work with old software.

@AlexO Thank you for sharing !, will cross-reference and add it to the list, I wish this list can be added to the official Khadas Docs instead of just being buried under all the new messages… but that is a request for @numbqq and @Frank,

@fkaraokur I agree, I had asked a similar set of user from another forum about what SSD’s work for them and what don’t and the reply I got was that most of what works and doesn’t work is shared common among both of us,

also some info from their group, the most commonly used SSDs by their standard are, The Samsung Evo SSDs (960, 970), and the Intel 660p SSD…

More info about their supported SSDs can be found here

Cheers!

Maybe you are right. But my laptop’s first kernel was exactly the 4.19.0-5-amd64 and it has been used/booted with aforementioned drive SK Hynix PC401 (HFS256GD9TNG-62A0A BB) for some time just well (till next linux-distro update).
*
At the same time I see Marvell’s storage 88SS1093 controller spec talks that exactly PCIe Gen3 x4 lanes interface is available for host while Khadas spec talks only about PCIe Gen2 (i.e. 2.0) interface availability, does it?
maybe that’s all results in poor compatibility consequences…

strange note I see at this post about PCIe Gen2/3 compatibility:

  • The CPU supports the PCIe 3.0 standards. This is in sharp contrast to PCI Express 2.0
  • The protocol is mostly observed in x86 based Intel & AMD chipsets.

PCIe is just (as the name implies) a high-speed peripheral interface. PCIe is also backward compatible like most peripheral interfaces like USB or Thunderbolt etc.

its not the reason the hardware that makes the device incompatible. rather the use of drivers that is more readily prevalent on Windows but is much lately introduced into Linux.

Till now those who have reported improperly working SSDs never shared a dmesg log of sorts so we never knew what the exact cause of compatibility failure is…

PS5012-E12S-32 (SiliconPower 1tb): doesn’t work
{nvme nvme0: Removing after probe failure status: -19}
SM2262ENG (SiliconPower 512gb): detected, works.

@AlexO can you share the dmesg logs as well ?
Thank you

You are right it worth that to see probably:

that’s it.
Thak you as well!

yep, this was probably the reason, we need to increase the BAR memory allocation, maybe @numbqq could help here ?

If the BAR was the issue it won’t boot, at least that’s been my experience. I’m more concerned about the Probe error, I’m just wondering if the drive is bad or the controller doesn’t like Linux but finding out the controller for his NVME has been tougher than usual.

plz try start krescue and check how NVME works !!!

Hi, I’m waiting for my VIM3 to arrive, do you think this SSD would work? A-Data SX6000 Lite: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N22YS84/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_Ent3FbWFTV5VQ

Thanks!

Hi, I have not seen on the forum that someone discussed this SSD model, I know for sure, Samsung will do, but you understand correctly, not every SSD can be suitable

@manuel-arguelles I have no idea of telling if its compatible or not, as the SSD controller is not specified.
if it using a phison branded controller, it has a high chance of compatibility, but there is no chance of knowing that.

if you need a decent quality SSD for a good price, go with the WD blue SN550 NVMe SSD, its reasonably priced, and has very low power consumption, best choice you can go for.
