Don't recognize / boot from NVME SSD for X1001/X1002/X1000/X1003?

    I have to give up, but I assume it's partly due to that I use a Crusial P3 disk that do have a Phison controller.

    For me, the hat (x1001) seem to be very sensitive for RF interferance. I got it more or less working without any Disk I/O errors by putting ALU Foil on the ribbon cable and removing the Pi from my GeekPI ALU case. Without the ALU foil or placing the pi in the ALU case, IO errors started all over the place, ending in a crash.

    Thread on HASOS github on the issue:

    I had to revert back to SDCARD...

    WD PC SN5000S 512GB confirmed working with X1001

    Just adding another SSD compatibility data point for the X1001.

    I can confirm that the following combination is working correctly:

    • Raspberry Pi 5
    • Geekworm X1001
    • Geekworm P579 metal case
    • Raspberry Pi Active Cooler
    • WD PC SN5000S 512GB
    • Exact model: SDEQNSJ-512G-1002
    • Firmware: 34230100
    • PCI ID: 15b7:5036
    • Raspberry Pi OS / Debian Trixie
    • PCIe Gen2 x1

    The SSD is correctly detected by lspci:

    0001:01:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller:
    Sandisk Corp WD PC SN5000S M.2 2280 NVMe SSD (DRAM-less)
     

    PCIe link:

    link up, 5.0 GT/s PCIe x1
     

    I enabled PCIe with:

    dtparam=pciex1
     

    I did not enable Gen3.

    The OS was cloned from microSD to NVMe using Raspberry Pi OS SD Card Copier, with New Partition UUIDs enabled.

    The Pi now boots directly from the X1001/NVMe with the microSD card removed:

     
    / /dev/nvme0n1p2
    /boot/firmware /dev/nvme0n1p1
     

    Sequential read performance in Gen2:

     
    $ sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/nvme0n1
     
    Timing buffered disk reads:
    1352 MB in 3.00 seconds = 450.28 MB/sec
     

    NVMe SMART is clean:

    critical_warning: 0
    temperature: 36 °C
    percentage_used: 0%
    media_errors: 0
    num_err_log_entries: 0
     

    I also ran a 5-minute CPU stress test with stress-ng. The Raspberry Pi Active Cooler worked normally, CPU temperature reached 66.4 °C, and:

     
     
    vcgencmd get_throttled
    throttled=0x0
     

    So, at least with my unit, I can confirm:

    WD PC SN5000S SDEQNSJ-512G-1002 + Geekworm X1001 + Raspberry Pi 5 works correctly in PCIe Gen2 and boots reliably from NVMe.

    I am posting this because I couldn't find any previous compatibility report for this exact SN5000S model.
