Hi, 

 

i have ordered complete new Hardware: 

- Raspberry 5 with 2GB, 

- USB-C NVME Case with RTL9201 chip and

- NVME M.2 SSD: Kingspec NE-128 2280 with 128GB

 

If I attached the M2 Case the SSD will not be detected (sda1) also not on an other PC. 

So now I don't know, what is defect (Case or SSD). I checked the Setting of the SSD in the case several times. Is there anything else, that I can do? 

 

Here some Logs: 

dmesg:

Is there anything else, that I can do? Or should I ship back SSD and USB Case both?

You may examine this, diskpart, gfdisk, cfdisk, et.al., even is the cable connection clean?

You may consider to check with raspianOS, as it is the best OS supporting rpi5.

Knowing this means your options are to return the case+NVMe back to shop. Or do a cross-check; case with other NVME and NVME in M.2 slot of some other computer.

But this is a typical Raspberry problem; storage via USB (SATA or NVME nowadays) easily leads to trouble. Mostly power related, but also many just the chipset in the adaptor. In case of Pi5, you could get an NVMe adaptor board, but also that is not always working out-of-the box. Only if you buy RPi adaptor and RPI NVME it should work out-of-the-box. Or other SBC that has M.2 slot already on the board.
