We strive to provide the best music experience. As such we internally tested (and still do) Volumio on variety of NVMe SSD. This list is only indication of our effort and is not definitive.
Please share your experience by posting what NMVe and HAT combination were successful or detail the ones caused problems.

Form factor 2280 low power consumption winners
We cannot test all NVMe SSD available on the market. Originating from reviews in various forum’s, the SK Hynix Gold P31 is clearly established as a reference NMVe SSD for low power consumption. In my tests there is a serious contender Crucial P3 showing even lower power consumption under workloads. If you find any other contender worth testing, please share your findings in this thread.
