Current NVME compatibility list

In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mUgVTBmKio time index 2:29-3:41 approximately the Patriot 310 is listed as a compatible NVME drive. In the current list NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5 - NVMe Base this Patriot 310 NVME drive is no longer listed as a compatible NVME drive for the Pimoroni base. I am wondering why the discrepancy between the video compatibility list and current compatibility list. I am hoping that an administrator from Pimoroni might answer. Cost is is a factor an the Patriot 310 NVME drive is less expensive than some others. Please I hope that an administrator will see this and answer.

                                                        Thank you

Patriot seem to use quite a few different controller chips on their drives. The drives we first tested worked fine, but we found a few with controllers that wouldn’t work at all with Raspberry Pi which is why we’ve moved them onto the ‘maybe’ list.

We’ve shipped a bunch of Patriot drives in our bundles at this point and had relatively few problems though, so if you want to chance it I’d say your odds are pretty good of getting a compatible one :)
