add on… NVMe are  
Crucial P3 500GB PCIe Gen3 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD. these are the same drives I’m currently using on a single base without issue and it’s 64 bit OS. Thanks

update… I don’t know what I was doing wrong, but now it is fully functional.  
I made no changes at all.

Hi,  
I had also the same configuration as you  
NVME DUAL BASE and 2 Crucial P3 500Gb PCIe  
When my PI 5 is up and running i can see the 2 ssd with lsblk but if i want to install the image on ssd by the desktop with rasp PI imager  
I can take the process and do everything just at the end he failed and complain with the message sync error.  
Did you proceed with a special configuration before install ours.  
Thanks for return
