M.2 storage devices (SATA and NVMe) devices don't work (hang at boot) #6

Description

@idigdoug

Putting a SATA or NVMe SSD into the M.2 slot causes Windows to hang at boot.

Issue understood: limitation of the Windows in-box storport.sys driver, which does not currently work correctly on systems with non-coherent cache.

Status:

  • Waiting on fix from Microsoft.

Possible workarounds:

  • Use patched drivers.
  • Boot from USB or, if using a device with eMMC, boot from eMMC.

Edited to update workarounds.
