    I didn't want to clog the Pi2AES thread, so I'm posting this here. I'm running a Mercury Streamer V1 with Volumio and have figured out how to do most of what I want. I have also installed a WD Blue SN570 NVMe SSD drive that I want to use to transfer all my hard drive music to.

    When I have my hard drive connected by usb, I can access it from my PC by mapping the network drive and opening the usb folder. I get three folders (Internal Storage, nas, usb), but nothing that indicates I can access the NVMe drive. Can someone help me on how I can find and transfer stuff to my NVMe drive?

    I actually solved my problem. I partitioned my NVMe drive to NTFS (other formats probably work, this is most convenient for me on PC), then named the drive "issd". Boom!, recognized on Volumio without having to do any Linux terminal stuff. Can also add files to drive through the network with my PC.
