@barry777 Thanks for the feedback

After confirming with the relevant department, the V1/E1/E2 (N150) models currently support up to PCIe 3.0 x2 channels. However, some issues remain unresolved, and the BIOS engineering team is actively working on fixing them. We will release an update as soon as we receive further notice.

Once again @barry777 Thanks for the feedback!

Unfortunately the link to the BIOS download does not work. Is there an alternative link somewhere?

I managed to circumvent the issue in Linux by adding the following boot parameters:

nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 pcie_aspm=off pcie_port_pm=off

There is no way to do this in Windows though.
The V1 turns off the PCIE link to the NVME and it does not power up again.
ASPM settings are nowhere to be found in the BIOS i got.

The link works. Try signing into you Google account and try the link again.

Hallo, habe gerade nach der ausführlichen Anleitung das entsprechende BIOS-Update für die PCIe Erkennung durchgeführt. Unklar ist mir noch der Punt Step 6: Bestätigen sdie, dass die Geräteerkennung ISSUI behoben ist.......! Wie und wo sollte ich dass bestätigen.
Vielen Dank im Voraus für ihre Antwort

I imagine it's first, making sure the drive is recognized, and second, making sure that the drive is running at the proper speed by using some kind of drive benchmarking software, such as CrystalDiskMark.

That worked fine! Thank you.

If you log in using a Microsoft account, be sure to have a 2nd factor set up.
After the first reboot, before writing back the UUID / Key, you might need it to log in.

Is there any chance, 4-Lane support will be added one day?
