<span class="tb_red">NVMe SSD Incompatibility List</span>
We recommend avoiding the following NVMe SSD drives which is equipped with a '''Phison controller''' due to their proven incompatibility:
* WD Blue SN550 series (<span class=="tb_red_bold">Solved!</span> Refer to [https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=364327 New rpi-eeprom-update 2024-01-24 WD Blue SN550 nvme works now.])
* WD Blue SN580 series (<span class=="tb_red_bold">Solved!</span> Refer to [[NVMe_SSD_boot_with_the_Raspberry_Pi_5#comment-4708]])
* WD Green SN350 series (<span class=="tb_red_bold">Solved!</span> Refer to [[NVMe_SSD_boot_with_the_Raspberry_Pi_5#comment-4602]])
* WD Black SN850 series
* WD Black SN770
* WD SN740
* Inland tn446 nvme drive
* Corsair MP600 SSD
* Micron 2450 SSD (Can be recognised but not support boot from NVME)
* Other NVMe SSD drivers equipped with the same '''Phison controller'''
<!--
* Samsung PM991
-->
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.
<!--
We hope the Raspberry Pi Foundation will resolve this issue soon.
-->
We '''confirm''' that the following SSDs are '''incompatible''':
* Micron 2200 256GB M.2 NVMe Gen3 x4, MODEL: MTFDHBA256TCH, The SSD is recognized but I cannot boot from it.
<span class="tb_red">Also note:</span>
* Compatible with M.2 '''NVMe''' SSDs only, '''Not''' compatible with M.2 SATA SSDs, M.2 PCIe AHCI SSDs, or other M.2 non-NVMe devices
* Older NVMe drives with less efficient flash media may not perform as well as newer drives
* New NVMe SSDs are not partitioned and will need to be both partitioned and formatted when first connected to the Raspberry Pi before they will be accessed in the Explorer.
* We get feedback from customers that '''Polaris Controller''' will also have compatibility problems. Please replace the other SSD test if it not work, whether it is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 does not depend on the X100X series boards
* NVMEs using the '''MAP1202''' controller may not support PCIe Gen 2, and must be forced to enable PCIe Gen 3 in order to be recognised. 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.
