Re: SSD storage board
It's like that with all his posts, maybe language barrier is too big. I think he asked if new i-series bizhubs storage board(SSD) may be replaced with aftermarket SSD(cheap) than original KM.A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Re: SSD storage board
As far as I know, they can't be replaced by any other consumer NVMe disk. There are two kind of NVMe disks mounted in i-Series - PHISON (the bigger) and Toshiba (the smaller one).
I've tested Toshiba KBG30ZMS256G as the closest to the original (KBG30AMS256G), unfortunately even this was not enough.
Long story short...
Disks distributed by KM are most probably whitelisted (by firmware revision number) in the copier firmware - both kind of disks have the same firmware rev. and that's pretty impossible in real world in case of different manufacturers.
You can't edit firmware revision number, you can't extract firmware from OEM disk controller to upload to another disk, you could probably manually edit revision in firmware controller update image... but it's encrypted.Comment

Re: SSD storage board
First thing - this is not M.2 SSD, it's M.2 NVMe much faster and not compatible with M.2 SSD
Second thing - yes, those disks could be read and written with a computer with proper interface, but only from copiers with early versions of firmware, KM in newer firmware has turned on disk locking, so you can't read and write partitions, but you can format whole disk
Third thing - you couldn't swap OEM disk with ordinary consumer disks, because they were not recognized as a boot device in a copier
Why to swap OEM disk with consumer one? Because earlier disks (Toshiba) were prone to damage, and OEM cost was $300 vs. $25 for consumer one.Comment

"There have expert replace third party M2 size SSD module on i series instead of original Storage Board?"
