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 …

Yeah, I saw your post when I searched the forum and had about the same reaction as you. I think it is more likely than not that the root cause is the same. Did you ever get any update on that internal engineering ticket? I get the sense USB-IF compliance testing was skipped, or the USB-IF compliance…

[image] c.s: Did you ever get any update on that internal engineering ticket? Unfortunately not. But I was not too persistent.

Thank you Jason for showing me this thread, I had my own thread going before noticing this one USB Storage issue . I have very similar issues all of you are having on my FW 16. I have an SSK NVME enclosure that when I use windows to go I get I/O lockup at random or under high load, regardless of conn…

Yeah. At this point it does seems to be an compatibility issue that could be similarly observed on both the AMD13 and FW16. I just don’t have the expertise nor equipment to determine if the issue is happening on the data level, or power-level.

Hi, My guess is that the problem is usb power related. A way to test this would be to put a 10Gbps separately powered hub between the laptop and external ssd and see if it is any more reliable.

Sadly. After upgrade BIOS 3.06 beta, this problem still exists. [image] Framework Laptop 13 Ryzen 7040 BIOS 3.06 Release BETA - Held Framework Laptop 13 2024-12-05 Release held at BETA - this release will not be promoted to stable. We found an issue during the…

Yeah, and ‘Known Issues’ section only addressed connectivity issue with USB-C equipped Apple devices, but not this problem we have here. I’m gradually becoming less and less inclined to believe Framework is still at the investigation stage of this issue with no more details to offer, after nearly a …

My AMD13 just got shipped, where would i find the revision?

On the back of the mainboard is where you would find the REV and date. You do need to take out the mainboard to check, but taking it out shouldn’t damage anything or affect your warranty as long as performed carefully.

So my Board says Rev. 1A with Date 2023-08-04 but i have not yet installed an OS, but it boots after teardown and reassembly :sweat_smile:
