Hi everyone in this thread,
I bought a WDS250G2X0C last week, and I also tried to install Ubuntu 18.04.1 and 16.04.5 on this NVMe SSD.
Firstly I went into same circumstance like you, Ubuntu cannot detect this SSD while installation.
And I found solution how to fix it.
- In the GRUB boot menu, press
e
to edit startup parameter
Addnvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500
by the end ofquiet
splash
Ctrl-x
to boot up, the installer should detect this disk in partition step. - After finishing finish installation, press
shift
while power on to enter GRUB again, add same kernel parameternvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500
,Ctrl-x
to boot up. - You will see Ubuntu boot up successfully, edit
/etc/default/grub
, add parameternvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500
again, executesudo update-grub
. so that every time boot up will contain this parameter in the grub automatically, no more manually edit.
Wish this solution can help you to install Ubuntu successfully and have fun.
