TomNow2 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 So i popped in a 1TB NVME I had sitting around, how do I actually have the system use it? Granted it's complete overkill since I don't do fancy things with the Isy.. now Eisy, but it wasn't doing anything but collecting dust so figured I can pop it in. First I thought to go into configuration of IoX, not there. Then thought in Polyglot there would be a way to 'format' and at it. Nope. Are there instructions for it, because I couldn't find anything on the Eisy user guide I used to migrate off of ISY. Thank you! Link to comment
Geddy Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 @TomNow2 this is the first time I've heard of anybody adding another drive to the eisy. The best way to get an answer might be through the UDI Support ticket process. They would at least know if/how to enable it and initialize it. But I'm not certain if IoX or PG3 would have any use for it. You would probably be able to run it for some other reason outside of UDI implementation. https://www.universal-devices.com/my-tickets Link to comment
TomNow2 Posted November 20, 2023 Author Share Posted November 20, 2023 Sounds good, one of the selling points in their email to me to update was that you can add an ssd. Odd that there’s no real documentation or use cases for it. Link to comment
Michel Kohanim Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 @TomNow2, Is it that you want to use the SSD instead of the eMMC for boot up or do you want to use it as extra storage? With kind regards, Michel Link to comment
TomNow2 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Share Posted November 21, 2023 Just extra storage, like I said it’s overkill but might as well put the nvme I had lying around to lie around in some device Link to comment
Solution Michel Kohanim Posted November 21, 2023 Solution Share Posted November 21, 2023 Hi @TomNow2, You can definitely do that by plugging it. It'll show up as /dev/nvd0. You can then create a file system and use it as extra storage. With kind regards, Michel 1 Link to comment

Think it might help others who saw it as a selling point. Would also be good if the Polyglot web interface or IoX UI could do it so it's not command line driven, thanks again! 2 Link to comment
