PROBLEM: XPG Gammix S70 Blade PCIe Gen 4 NVMe drive unusable in Linux

[Warren Chartier]

Hi Christoph,

Yes, I did go looking for newer firmware. The ADATA Windows utility tells me there are no firmware updates available for the drive and that I have the latest.

Based on the warnings the drive seems to have rather broken VPD
support.  Did you check with the vendor if there might be a newer
firmware available?
