[SOLVED] M.2 SSD compatible with Rasperry Pi?

[ganga d]

Is 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SSD 250GB compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 4B?

Assuming you mean Model B, how would you install/power it? Unless I'm blind, I'm not seeing an M.2 port.

The device has an NVMe connection. RPi does not (please correct me if I'm wrong).

If you happened upon this device and want to use it with your RPi, you will have to have an adapter from NVMe to USB (or NVMe to SATA and SATA to USB), which defeats the purpose of NVMe (speed)

The device consumes 30mW, which is not much, but must be considered as with all devices attached to the RPi.

Remember, there are two states for storage devices, ones that have failed and ones that are going to fail.

2 SSD USB 3.0 NAS storage board is a new member of Raspberry Pi storage board family, which only support M. 2 NVMe 2280/2260/2242/2230 SSD hard drive! It provides a complete storage solution for raspberry pi 3B+/3B or ROCK64. It supports multiple .

You probably want to double-check that link.

OTOH - unless something significant has changed in RPi family, I see no way to connect storage but over USB.

there is a "desktop kit" that came out 12-18 months ago that allows an M.2 connection

I dont know the specifics of the connections, other than there is a GPIO Hat inclued that the M.2 sits upon

I think i got it from newark.com

If you are going for an adapter then that will not utilize the full speed of nvme drives. Just make sure to plug it in the USB 3 port.
