There seems to be compatibility issues between NVMe SSD enclosure and AMD Framework. I invite everyone who also have AMD Framework and NVMe enclosure to collectively experiment and report our findings. Hopefully by doing this, we can identify any patterns, root cause an issue if indeed present, and …

Confirming on my end as well that the issue remains on 3.05

Thank goodness I bought a different laptop for daily driving since I can actually backup to my SSD that way. If only my AMD FW13 is still returnable.

[image] Michael_Wu: A possible reason is that the system is not giving enough power to certain SSDs during sustained high speed write. Perhaps some power hungrier SSD models ask for power but don’t receive it fast enough or at all, which causes them to reset. Power supply probably isn’t an is…

The issue of the NVMe enclosure dropping out is very similar to what I’m running into with my iPhone 15 Pro Max that I posted in this thread: USB C is not compatible with iPhone 15 / Pro / Pro Max - #42 by Tyrael TLDR: C-to-C cables constantly connect/disconnect; USB 3 A-to-C cable connects fine, b…

Hi ! I came across this thread and thought I could share my experience. My setup Laptop: Framework 13, AMD Ryzen 7 7840, BIOS 3.05. NVMe/USB enclosure: ElecGear EL-2230C, JMicron JMS583 inside. NVMe SSD inside the enclosure: KIOXIA KBG40ZNS256G, known reliable and used as a boot drive for a few ye…
