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.
