Lifehack for Maschine plus. Do you want M.2 NVME SSD inside? I really wanted it, and I got it!

Thanks for the advice, I also have an alloy of Wood and Rose.

This is correct. Even if you have a thumb drive inserted, it will only work as a controller and not pick up the thumb drive. So, it's not likely it will recognize the SSD.

@Alexios said:
it won't work without an adapter, chips down - it's not logical.
Sorry, I have no ideia what you mean by that.
nvme physically won't fit in there, look where the jumper is.
What jumper? The notch key? AFAIK thats used to differentiate NVME from SATA SSD's but there are connectors compatible with both. Inspect the connector on the M+ with a flash light and see if there any notch blockers. Oddly, your "nvme" adapter actually has the SATA type of connector/notches according to this:
If you're talking about physical size/length then NVME's have different sizes, thats why i said 2230
And I checked it first on a mini PC. The speed is 1500 for writing and reading. How did you check?
I didn't check, as I didn't do this mod. Speed can be bottlenecked by many things, like how many PCIe lanes the connector/cpu/board supports… On a regular computer (ATX) the first PCIe slot is ussually x16 lanes (for extreme things like GPU), then the 2nd is x8, then x4 for the tiny ones.
But on that M+ board it's says "x1" and M. 2 NVMe SSDs require x4 PCIe lanes. That 1x could mean something else, but i doubt it. This would actually explain why WI-FI downloads on the M+ suck so bad…
If it is indeed x1 then SSD will run much slower on the M+ than it does on your mini PC.

Yes, but the "thumb drive" is external and accounted for by the software… While the SSD mod OP made is internal, connected to the exact same board place as the SD, and not accounted for, so it was worth a shot.
I'd try first formatting and naming it the same as an SD formated in the M+ (a volume named Maschine+), make sure to boot the M+ without an SD in case it might think the SSD is the SD based on volume name. If that fails theres cloning tricks to assign a volume the same UUID as the SD, but again… these are all longshots.

Sorry google translator. If we assume PCIe 4.0 x1 version then almost 2GB/s.

No prob. Hahah I wish, nah… this is a low end embedded system, it has PCIe 2.0. It takes a while for even normal computers start adopting new PCIe generations.
The M+ CPU itself only has 6 total lanes.
Anyway, assuming theres no loss from the adapter, 500 MB/s is still super fast… But more SATA speed than NVME.

Yes, 500mb/s suits me fine.

more important is USB storage ability so i could transfer files to mobile phone and not always need Computer!? i can make good, solid amazing quality sound music in standalone mode and it`s about file transfer more then SSD M2 speed because i am easy to turn 10 tracks as groups one after another extending Music to longer more pleasant sounding compositions. SSD would make…RAM will be SSD because Resources are needed for something else and Computers in the Future, next year RAM will change architecture like whole Computer to consume less with same or better performance.
SSD M2 is beneficial
in all capacity only with specific IO to guide write and ride.PS5 is designed for M2 optimal maximization and in DREAMS 96khz Audios in more than 100 channels is not a challenge, it`s Amazing but it`s not close to Maschine Musical input and it is possible to transfer files to USB.
USB storage like we all know is more needed then next gen of Maschine or having a choise but USB storage.
i need to go outside or to transfer m+ work and use it for easy add on different project, maybe Collab or just need a brake walking and listening music i made. I am not the only one, PUSH standalone would be horror for me after M+.

I just plop out the SD card and use an SD card reader with my phone/tablet for file transfer without a computer. Works perfectly

Hey that's interesting and still not the best solution because of plug unplug plug unplug system/workflow Yet I would appreciate if you can explain me how did you menage that in short or just in your words and if you can point me to some tutorial if it's easier to you.
I want to try and see if that could be a solution but in theory it should be much more intuitive like with all other Devices.
DM here or write it here hoewer you want and when you have a time, maybe it will be something like a Frankenstein hybrid so I can connect more devices and forget about mobility 😂
I want to try it .

I just power down maschine+, then pop out the card. Place the SD card into my SD card adapter dongle (Apple SD card adapter with USB-C plug), plug the adapter into my iPad and then I can access all the files on the SD card in Files app. When I am finished with my transfers, I turn off the iPad before uplugging the SD card adapter (this might not be a necessary step but I do it just to make sure nothing is writing to the SD card when I unplug it). Then put the SD card back in M+ and reboot it.
Alternatively, I can leave the SD card in M+ and just connect M+ to my Apple camera connection kit dongle via USB cable and connect that to my iPad. Next, I just activate STORAGE mode on M+ from the SETTINGS menu. After this, I can see the M+ card data in iPad's Files app as a removable drive. I complete my transfers, turn off iPad (to make sure nothing is writing to the USB port when I finish) then press FINISH on M+. Unplug the cables and its done.
This process might be different for Android devices. I only use Apple stuff with my M+

Thanks for sharing this way of doing it. It's still something that is weird because it's about simple task that is gaining more attention when I say it's not possible and it doesn't matter IOS or Android it's a must feature without asking for it, hoewer I really appreciate you.
