      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

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