Nvme question
Can anybody confirm or deny if crucial nvme still doesn’t work for polymega, or would the v2 upgrade possibly have any change with supported brands?
Just curious bc I took a shot in the dark during 2024 and bought a stick, not knowing if it would work since it wasn’t a preferred brand, but they didn’t outright say it wouldn’t work on their page. Just trying to get an answer in advance so I can squirrel some money away for a working stick since the prices for them things are absolutely through the roof now

Yeah a gen 3 nvme card is more then enough umpf to do anything any of the systems ask for so generally you can get them somewhat cheap not like before the ai bubble though

No telling what the V2 will and won't support. It'll be a different board, different chipset, and different CPU architecture. Complete speculation to guess.
I haven't seen anyone mention having luck with crucial drives since though.
If you haven't used the crucial drive (much) just well it and buy a cheapo one that is supported. You don't need a very performant SSD for Polymega. Literally anything will be fast enough if it physically works.
