Upgrade M.2 storage on Netgate 4100

It's the circle LED in solid orange.

Hmm, then it's failing to POST. The internal LEDs may tell you more but, as I say, there's nothing that can be set to affect that.
-
At the moment I would suspect it's related to what other users also experienced in https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15110

Yes, very likely the same issue. That specific drive is mentioned.
Make sure you're running the current Blinkboot version. Though I'm not aware of any specific fixes in it.

Thanks, will also check later whether there's an update the Netgate Firmware Update package will offer.
Ihis is a really annoying issue, we already have some 4100 and 6100 with defective eMMCs and OOW.... (and we are not the only ones).

Not a real success here. 03.00.00.03t-uc-18 is on the device and also the firmware version offered by the latest Netgate Firmware Upgrade package (23.05.01) which comes along with pfSense 24.03.
-
Yup, that's the current version.

Any word on what the most compatible M.2 B Key is to put into a 4100?
I have a number of them I need to protect given I wasn't aware of how short they would last without turning on a RAM disk and avoiding packages until mine started failing after two years. -

Most compatible I don't know, but I'm using the WD SN520 128G, 2242 form factor, 100 TBW endurance in my SG-4100.
Edit: I'm using a heat sink for that drive, so if you choose this drive, get a heat sink also. -
I run a TS128GMTE452T, but wiht UPS and RAM Disk.
Pfblocker drop xGB day if there is no RAM Disk.
