Hello, I bought a WD Blue SN550 500 GB NVMe SSD as second SSD. No need to change anything in the BIOS. It works fine - four times faster then the preinstalled one. ---

Are you working with the internal one? are there any sort of problems working with both of them? @DerChecker ---

I’m using both of them simultaneously. There are no problems. The pre-installed SSD is the system drive and the second SSD is volume D:. ---

Some people says there are problems after installing NVMe for the second SSD !!? but relying on what you are saying I can get another NVMe one (plug&play) and keep the system installed on the pre-installed and all goes fine, right? ---

You can keep the pre-installed SSD as boot drive. It’s a W800S (Transcend?) and uses the SATA interface. My second SSD is a WD Blue SN550 and uses the NVMe interface. So far no problems occurred. ---

I have added SN550 nvme as second ssd. It runs in the pcie3.0x2 channel,which means the speed is only 1300~1400MB/s,while the normal (pcie3.0 x4) is up to 3000MB/s ![DiskSpeedTest](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/chuwi/original/2X/e/ea85edc6e80bd35c0ac3264bed49e4db74ae0daa.png) Boot is ok. In fact,I have installed Mac os big sur in NVME ssd and Windows 10 in SATA ssd。 Boot device is NVME ssd by opencore0.6.4,you can also boot win from SATA,everything is OK ---

Installed NVMe ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB drive in my Corebook X. Installed on it using a bootable USB flash drive Win 10. Works much faster. For comparison, I measured the speed of a standard disk and ADATA, the difference is noticeable. 😀 ![Буфер обмена03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/chuwi/original/2X/b/b9fb49f6d6bd279d56156584d3984b56add66e98.jpeg) ![Буфер обмена02](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/chuwi/original/2X/5/595e8e098d841c7c1535ef6470589ec56918ef2b.jpeg) ![Буфер обмена01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/chuwi/original/2X/7/7af1518621855284f85177c2472415ee9fff280d.jpeg) [Next page](https://forum.chuwi.com/t/corebook-14-x-nvme-problem/18021.md?page=2)
