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 :-)
