@fhersete is interested in using NVME SSD on rock960 and wanted a list of supported NVME devices. In theory, as long as the M.2 SSD is PCIE interface(1/2/4 lanes), it should be compatible. I think it might be good to start a thread to gather what the actually tested models are and their benchmark. It helps to choose different brands and models on the market.
Tested devices from us:
Test method: Put the SSD on M.2 extend board and connects on ROCK960 M.2 port.

The results are really good, I think that by installing the operating system, I would gain a lot of performance.
Hi, I have the doubt of whether this SSD is compatible.
This m.2 ssd should be supported.
I’m having problems with that SSD in a ROCK960 Model C. I’ve opened a new topic to not undermine this one.
Where can we get the M.2 extend board board from in the UK?
