I have been running a CM3588 NAS kit for the best part of a year with the below SSD's

Transcend Information, Inc. NVMe PCIe SSD 110Q (DRAM-less) - 2TB
Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NVMe SSD Controller SM981/PM981/PM983 - 2TB
Intel Corporation SSD 670p Series [Keystone Harbor] - 2TB
Lexar NM790 NVME SSD (DRAM-less) - 2TB

If anyone has any other confirmed working please reply here

I have tested and can confirm that these work:

Crucial P3 PCIe 3.0 NVME 2TB
and
WD Blue SN 5000 PCIe 4.0 NVME 4TB

I have had the Crucial running for a few months, but have only just started using the WD's.

I was using heatsinks on the WDs, but the drives were incorrectly reporting excessive heat (80C+). I removed the heatsinks and now the drives are reporting around 32C. I'm not sure why this was happening. The drives were not very hot to the touch. There's not much room for a fan in the case, so I might just leave the heatsinks off.

I received my CM3588 NAS Kit and bought a single WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe SSD 2 TB. The SSD works, but I am getting only 550-600 MB/s read speed:

Code: Select all

hdparm -t --direct /dev/nvme0n1:
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 1642 MB in  3.00 seconds = 547.06 MB/sec # UEFI boot Arch Linux mainline kernel
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 1796 MB in  3.00 seconds = 598.06 MB/sec # Friendlyelec Debian BSP 6.1 kernel

I was expecting around 900-1000 MB/s as this would be the theoretical limit of the PCI 3.0 x1 bus. The PCI 4.0 SSD itself should be much faster than this.

Could you post the output of hdparm with the SSDs you have tested with the board?
