Open System Config and set "PCI express" to "Gen-2" - ON

Looks like Linux detected the disk

Support for SATA drives could be implemented in moode Library Config similar to how NVMe drives are supported but it's a significant amount of work due to the large number of moving parts that have to be created and tested.

The other issue for me is that I don't have a SATA drive or the PCIe bridge card to use for testing which increases the likelihood for bugs in the field and even more work to fix them.

As a workaround you might be able to put a mount line in /etc/fstab to auto-mount /dev/sda1 to /mnt/NVME. This will at least let MPD see the drive and index it.

As a workaround you use an USB 3.0 to Sata adapter.
They are very cheap, and my Moode system is going strong using this method.

Thank you, I'm new to this and I don't understand how to do it, could you write a more precise command and into which file to insert it.

Thanks, that's how I tried, it works.
I wanted to use 2*3.5 disks and this adapter since it is powered by a 12v power supply and powers both Raspberry PI5 and disks at once.

I did end up implementing PCIe SATA support in Library Config but I need help testing it since I don't have a PCIe/SATA board.

   

If you (or anyone else) are able to help then PM me and I'll make a test image for you.

Friendly bump :-)

Thanks, everything is working fine, they are not formatted when adding disks, the disks are in NTFS

Thank you so much for your work.

Great to hear the SATA mount feature works :-)

I see that I forgot to assign an appropriate icon for the SATA listing in Folder view. I'll put up a patch for that and include the fix in an upcoming release.

I also seee that the drive mounts are not showing the device path and are showing VFAT as the file system instead of NTFS for example "SSD (, vfat)"

1. Click into one of the drive mounts post a screen shot plus a second screen shot with the "Drives" dropdown opened.
 
2. Post the output from the commands below.

Code:

mount | grep "/dev/"

ls /dev/sd*
