Hello.

I want to install a M.2 2TB SSD in my A300 but the A300 Storage QVL ( https://www.asrock.com/nettop/AMD/DeskMini%20A300%20Series/#Storage" rel="nofollow - https://www.asrock.com/nettop/AMD/DeskMini%20A300%20Series/#Storage ) only list SSDs that were discontinued.

I've done some research and it seems there is an incompatibility with some M.2 SSDs( https://www.asrock.com/support/qa/Technical%20NNotes%20-%20Storage%20Device%20Compatibility.pdf" rel="nofollow - https://www.asrock.com/support/qa/Technical%20NNotes%20-%20Storage%20Device%20Compatibility.pdf ).

I would like to check with the community if anyone knows of a gen3 or gen4 2TB ssd that is compatible with the A300.

Crucial has a hardware compatibility tool that lists the P3 SSD as compatible, but the Asrock technical note lists the same ssd as incompatible( https://crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/asrock/deskmini-a300#ssd" rel="nofollow - https://crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/asrock/deskmini-a300#ssd ).
