NVME SSD not detected

[leogaggl]

I ordered a Kingspec 512GB NVMe PCIe 2242 SSD M.2 drive, following the recommendations in other threads and Discord.

However, I have not had any luck with the drive not being detected. From all the available documentation, I can’t see any jumpers or anything on the OS that needs to be enabled to support NVME storage.

rak@rakpios:~ $ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
mmcblk0 179:0 0 29.1G 0 disk
├─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/firmware
└─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 28.6G 0 part /
mmcblk0boot0 179:32 0 4M 1 disk
mmcblk0boot1 179:64 0 4M 1 disk

There’s no NVMe-related output in dmesg either.

The rest of the system works well, and I quite like the unit, especially the ability to extend. But the use case we are going for needs large local storage, so that’s a showstopper for us.

Any suggestions on where to get some assistance with that?

So much easier when you actually get the correct product you ordered:

lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
mmcblk0 179:0 0 29.1G 0 disk
├─mmcblk0p1 179:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/firmware
└─mmcblk0p2 179:2 0 28.6G 0 part /
mmcblk0boot0 179:32 0 4M 1 disk
mmcblk0boot1 179:64 0 4M 1 disk
nvme0n1 259:0 0 476.9G 0 disk

For future reference the initial drive was not correctly keyed NVMe drive.
