While on the topic of drives on Pi's; I did read this post by Jeff Geerling the other day. Might be something worth looking into if you won't benefit from the additional bandwidth and features of NVMe. https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2024/radxas-sata-hat-makes-compact-pi-5-nas Seems somewhat

Hi Ralph, Finally managed to find the mailing list join details! As for NVMe HAT's, personally, I use the Geekwork x1001[1] on mine with a Samsung 990 EVO (Overkill, I know, but it was free from work) When it comes to NVMe over TCP, RedHat does have some fairly decent documentation[2] on
