I'd usually not care about Linux compatibility for most hardware for Linux (about everything except WiFi adapters I guess).
Now I want to buy my first M.2 SSD (got only SATA SSDs installed).
From what I read, I would buy a Samsung, but... someone at GoL lately pointed at problems with Samsung SSDs.
Disabling queued trim doesn't sound tooo bad to me, but disabling NCQ altogether does.
So...
Does this apply to M.2 as well, or only to SATA plugged ones?
If it's (still) a problem with M.2 SSDs - what to buy instead?
Stay safe,
Eike

I wasn't even aware that it's not the latest generation.
But still, good to hear you've got good experiences with it.
My first M.2 SSD is already on its way to me! :)
Thanks & stay safe!
Too late for me indeed, but maybe someone else reads around seeking for advice.

A less known trick is that you can update NVMe SSD firmware using nvme tool. It worked for SK Hynix Gold P31 for me which only provide firmware image and tool for Windows for updating it.

Arch wiki can't be praised enough.
I often use it - as a Debian user.
