Hello all I have attached this KC3000 with an ext. Silicon Power PD60 to a Synology. I found out that the SSD can be recognised but not formatted and used in any way. The volume crashes. With Windows absolutely no problem. Has anyone had any experience with this (Synology)? Is it the KC3000 or the Silicon Power PD60 or does it not work at all?
The Silicon Power PD60 just happens to have a JMicron controller chip? These controllers can cause problems when reading NVMe SSDs. Unfortunately, I also discovered that the Sandberg NVMe case also has a JMicron controller and a Kingston Fury Renegade did not work with it either (the slightly better KC3000 :) ). These Icy Cases also have JMicron controllers. The SSDs run without problems only with the Realtek controller chip. You can find them in Orico cases, for example, Orico cases are sold on Amazon, but JMicron, that's a no-go for many new SSDs. Of course, I could also imagine that Synology can't recognise the controller properly.
