Compatibility Notes
NVMe compatibility may vary depending on Raspberry Pi OS version, kernel version, EEPROM firmware, SSD firmware, and power supply quality.
A high-quality 5V/5A USB-C power supply is strongly recommended, especially for high-capacity or high-performance SSDs.
Some SSDs may work correctly as secondary storage but show instability when used as the boot drive.
User-reported successful operation does not always guarantee long-term stability under sustained workloads.
