No good: WD Blue SN580 WDS500G3B0E 500GB
Good: Crucial P3 Plus CT500P3PSSD8 500GB
I had the opposite experience with the 1TB version of the SiliconPower that came bundled with my Home Assistant Yellow + CM5 from Ameridroid. The yellow periodically locks up and spews I/O errors.
Just ordered this because of all the 500gb options it was the only one available with two day shipping. Will report back with another data point when it arrives.
I can’t speak to how it might work with the CM5 (I have a CM4), although it seems like the compatibility should be the same. I’ve had not one lick of problems with it since I installed it. Maybe you got a dud?
I’m assuming it’s due to the size–1 TB drives seem to have incompatibilities at a much higher rate.
I’ve added everything from this thread to a spreadsheet here:
Hello,
Brandon from ameriDroid here, from our experience SiliconPower NVMe’s 128GB, 256GB, 500GB, 512GB, 1TB, work with the Home Assistant Yellow both with CM4 and CM5’s, we have not seen that same issue in the past, if I’m not wrong I think we even had a few customers who ordered a 2TB and a 4TB to run with their HA Yellow. If you would like to send it back we can test it with one of our HA Yellow and CM5’s to check if maybe you might have gotten a faulty NVMe.
You beat me to the thread Brandon 
I meant to update my perspective here based on you sharing how frequently those Silicon Power SSDs are used together with HA Yellows this morning. At this point I believe mine was just a dud and not indicative of a broader issue, and I’ll send it back for testing.
Hello,
I first tried a PNY CS1030 250GB, but it does not work. Then I tried a Silicon Power (SP) A60 256GB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280 SSD, as it was reported as compatible, but got a different model that does not work, it’s a SU256GB34A60M28, not a SP256GBP34A60M28…
I tried a WD Red SN700 that has been reported to be compatible, but still nothing…I’m starting to think I do something wrong, or I’m very unlucky.
Hello Jazz, what is exactly the issue you are having? Are you trying to use the NVMe to boot the OS? Sometimes we have heard that the issue might be that the NVMe is not fully compatible with Rpiboot so the flashing process is not completed correctly. We typically recommend trying with a NVMe to USB adapter in those cases.
BTW, what is exact Part # of your Kingston NV3 that works with CM5?
Hi, yes I was trying to boot the OS. I used an adapter to install the OS from my PC for all SSD.
Are you using BalenaEtcher or Raspberry Pi Imager to flash the OS? is this “https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/download/16.3/haos_yellow-16.3.img.xz” the image you are flashing to the NVMe? When you boot the Yellow, do you get the RED solid LED and the flashing Green and Yellow LED?
I used Raspberry Pi Imager, with the Home Assistant Yellow OS provided (I think it was the version 16.1 at this time). I only got the red solid led, nothing else (I may misremember as it was months ago).
Hi DonTomato, I know this is an old thread, but I was wanting to confirm if the Patriot P300 128GB still ended up working ok for you in the long run? The next post from Aussybob mentioned that the Patriot P300 256GB did not work which is concerning me.
I picked up a HA Yellow recently and im looking for some 'affordable' NVME storage to move the data too. The P300P128GM28 seems like a winner and is 'low power' too. Thanks!
Hey there art-fanatic, I hardly remember it tbh 
If I wrote that it worked for me, it did. I remember the drive was on sale and very cheap, thats why I posted it. I tried a few... But I dont have any long term experience with it.
Switched to Crucial? CT500P5PSSD8 - this is working perfect ever since.
Thank you for getting back to me DonTomato! All good! I am trying to find a ssd for the yellow on a budget (seems very difficult in this day and age). I think I am going to try get a new OEM Samsung PM981 or PM981a from a computer parts seller on eBay. They have DRAM and hopefully being a bit older, will just work. Others on the thread seem to have had luck with these too which drew them to my attention.
