[solved] SG-3100 not turning on with Samsung 970 Evo Plus installed
-
Hello,
I just tried to install an 2280 M.2 SSD in my SG-3100. It fits the M.2 2280 slot but when I turn on the device it doesn't do anything.
No control LED, no booting, serial console stays silent.After removing the SSD everything boots normally.
Am I doing something wrong here, or is it the SSD not being compatible?
-
the 970 EVO is a NVMe
M.2 is only the form factor
you need an M.2 SATA -
Ah too bad, I will be purchasing a SATA then :-) Thank you for the assist!

You probably don't need it, but maybe for anybody finding this post in the future, here's the M.2 SATA installation instructions.
