Hmmm, i need a technical explanation.
Your answer is dubious.
“The communication drivers and interface between NVMe and SATA are completely different. SATA uses AHCI drivers that are designed for hard disk drives (HDD) with spinning technology while the NVMe driver is specifically designed for SSDs with flash technology”
I am ingenuous about SSD, i thought the SSD SATA would mean it would appear as it was a SATA device attached, hence i enabled sata.
EVO 970 seems to work for other users (Introduce ROCK 5B - ARM Desktop level SBC - #1118 by Think_Strategy) so i wrongly assumed EVO 980 would also. But looks like no driver for SSD SATA , is it that what you mean?
