I have strange problem. When I am copying files from my notebook (Linux Mint) to Omnia NAS perk to the SSD drive it is freezing more and more often. Copying to normal HDD seems to be fully OK and even faster (50 vs. 25 MB/s).
Reading from that SSD seems to be fully ok, but it is some cheap Chinese brand (Kingspec) and I am afraid it is going to be dead soon…
As now, msata drives are rare and expensive, could you give me,please, an advice for some mpcie to m.2 sata adapter, which is working with Omnia? I would prefer some cheap from Aliexpress, but if there is some fully working from other store I can give it a try.
Second question: Will m.2 2280 drive fit into Omnia?
I would not go with an adapter and a M.2 SSD, both will be more on cost
and not really sure or safe if this will be running then without causing problems!
Thanks for your answer, but now, there is 1TB and I really don´t want to go to lower capacity.
It seems, there is only one msata drive with 1TB - Kingston KC600 for about 94,- €…
Oh, this seems to be exactly what I am looking for. I thought there was not mpcie to nvme adapter. Thanks!
Nvme drives are much cheaper (1TB starting from 63,- €), so with such adapter it will be cheaper together than msata drive alone and there are larger disks availaible…
According to your post, each 2280 disk should fit OK into Omnia? Is there some way to lift the whole adapter so it will not be inclined?
But I am still trying to figure out why and what is happening at all…
When copying freezes, there is message about timeout or message about filesystem permissions for writing.
It does not matter if I am copying via the build in file manager or Krusader or any other file manager. Then follow these options:
I try it again and everything is OK (mostly when timeout message appears)
I have to reboot Omnia - sometimes helps, sometimes not (file permissions message)
I have to reboot both, Omnia and PC - sometimes helps, sometimes not (file permissions message)
Note: NAS is running on second Omnia
Maybe, it is not disk related problem, but some other issue, but then it is weird that I can write, on normal HDD on the same NAS, without any problem. What do you think?
Maybe I used the wrong wording - the whole adapter is lifted because of the SFP-slot. But a little bit lifting doesn’t matter as the connectors of the adapter sit tight in the mPCIe-slot and the NVMe-disk is (related to the adapter) not inclined. If you have some, longer screws would be a good thing (to not bend the adapter and thus the NVMe-disk).
Regarding your copy-situation I’d say there is something wrong with your disk. Didn’t carry out any larger C&P-operations with my TO, but whenever I had problems with C&P in the past on other hardware, the disk was close to dieing.
edit: Above situation applies for installing it in the middle slot. Other slots are even worse options…
Ok, adapter ordered from Aliexpress, will see when it arrives. It seems to be the same as yours from eBay (both from the China), even cheaper including VAT (I don´t know if eBay. is including VAT automatically.
Now I am doing litle research of nvme ssd and deciding between new one (60-100 € for 1TB, 130+ € for 2TB) or used (mostly with few GB written starting 45 € for 1TB, 85+€ for 2TB).
What does this mean? I thought that SSd can be installed only in one slot, closer to the heatsink? Does it work even in another one?
(Only) the first slot (next to CPU heatsink) supports MSATA protocoll, thats right.
But as NVMe is pure PCIe-protocoll, there is no special slot needed and thus the second slot fits best for this constallation (2280 NVMe-disk).
Those smaller sizes are rare in webstores and more expensive than 2280, but I am considering 2TB too.
85,- € seems to be fair price for 2TB (used), but there are some strange SMART values as 451x power on cycle and only 10 hours of work time and only 116GB data written. I suspect, that some sellers know how to cheat SMART values
I have bought PATRIOT P400 Lite/ 2TB/ SSD/ M.2 NVMe, which is working fine and seems to be cool during my use case (srv with LXC with jdownloader). Althought copying speed via wifi is still low (about 30 MB/s), but this can be caused by Linux Mint which I am using on my notebook, because with Windows speeds between NAS and notebook were much higher even with HDDs. At least copying is working, as for now without errors…
Inclination of the reduction with SSD is quite high (it rests on the LAN ports cage and not on SFP, I am afraid that SSD with heatsing will not fit in), but it is still working.
Possible solutions:
Extender and sticking/screwing the disk to the upper cover. Maybe I will try in the future.
Turris support should mention in official documentation, that Ubuntu distributions offered in LXC list DO NOT WORK anymore (network) - I spent about 2 hours with this and it was only my luck, that I am visiting this forum frequently, so I remembered something about problems with this.
