In some cases it is not grub, but vendors UEFI/BIOS

The board works with SSDs. I just don't want to install a bootloader that dosen't work. I read a post from a few months ago on the arch forums that grub didn't work with nvme drives.

Several users discuss NMVe installs, often vendor issues or configuration settings in UEFI.

The NVME drive is recognized in Ubuntu using a different convention. Instead of /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. you get /dev/nvme0n1, /dev/nvme0n2 etc. Note the first drive is n1. The partitions within the drives are p1, p2, etc.

The only way to know for sure if it works with your system is to try it. All it takes is a little time.

Is there anyone that has used it?
