These specific models have demonstrated compatibility issues, and it is advisable to avoid them when considering NVMe SSD options for the X10xx series NVMe shield. You can run "'''lspci'''" command to check the controller brand of the SSD.

This is due to the fact that the controller is not backward compatible with PCIe Gen 2, and NVMEs using this controller will have compatibility issues, and are not recommended for use.

NVMe SSD Incompatibility List

Whether an SSD is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 does not depend on the X10XX series boards. We recommend avoiding the following NVMe SSDs equipped with a Phison controller, as they have been proven to have compatibility issues. You can run the "lspci" command to check the controller brand of your SSD.

Customer Feedback:

  • The Polaris controller may also have compatibility issues. If it does not work, please try a different SSD for testing.
  • Some NVMe SSDs with Phison controllers have been reported to work after updating to the latest firmware. Please refer to: X1001#comment-4638

Other Incompatibility Notes:

  • Incorrect SSD interface: NOT compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, other non-NVMe M.2 devices.
  • Older NVMe drives: Use less efficient flash media and may not perform as well as newer drives.
  • SSD is not partitioned: A brand new SSD must be partitioned and formatted when first connected to the Raspberry Pi before it can be accessed in the file explorer.
