works or doesn’t work
bump for input
Thanks for starting this list. A couple of people in the Discord channel mentioned they had issues with the Samsung 980, possibly due to the HMB feature. But the 970 seems like a good option.

NOT working: Kingston SNV2S/1000G - NV2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 1TB
And to make sure, the beheviour in my case is that the ssd shows up in the “Move datadisk” dropdown, but when applying the system reboots and nothing happened. Also as of then the SSD no longer is available in that Move datadisk dropdown. Another reboot (disconnect power) is needed to bring it back there.
Is that similar to other’s experiences about not working?
Good: Samsung PM981 (Model MZ-VLB1T00)
This is an OEM NVME I salvaged from a work station PC many years back. It is paried with a CM4 Lite. Eveything went smoothly sofar.

HomeAssistant Yellow 1.3
Software ver
Core 2024.9.1

Unfortunately, GUI doesn’t show any “healthiness” or S.M.A.R.T. data from drive.
Good: Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SN580 NVMe
Bad: Western Digital 250GB Blue SN580 NVMe (WDS250G3B0E-00CHF0)
Good: SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB NVMe (MZ-V7S1T0B/AM)
Inadvertently bought the same Kingston SNV2S/1000G as @jurgenh .
In my case the data migration worked. Upon reboot, Storage showed 0.4% used of 875.9 GB and in the console I saw that most of the partitions where moved to the /dev/nvme0n1p1 device.
Not working: SAMSUNG PM9B1 MZAL4256HBJD-00BL2 (256 Gb). Shows up as an NVME0 device in hardware overview but I can’t migrate any data to it (“No data disk found”). I don’t understand why it doesn’t work if it does show up as a hardware device. I did a secure wipe but no success
Update: Known not to work according to FAQ – Home Assistant Yellow
Working: Integral SSD 256GM NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3x4 (link to amazon)
Observations:
- PCIe Generation Compatibility: SSDs utilizing PCIe Gen 3.0 tend to work reliably with Home Assistant Yellow. In contrast, some PCIe Gen 4.0 SSDs, such as the WD Black SN770 and Kingston NV2, have been reported as non-functional.
- SATA vs. NVMe: SSDs designed for SATA, like the Transcend 240GB M.2 SSD 820S, are incompatible, as Home Assistant Yellow supports only NVMe SSDs.
- Specific Models: Certain models, including the Samsung 980 Pro 1TB and Verbatim Vi3000 256GB, do not function correctly, despite meeting general specifications.
Good: Silicon Power NVMe SSD (128GB tested, other sizes should be fine)
I got mine from the same place I got the Yellow, This isn’t a referral link, it was just the easiest way to provide more info.
