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)
