need help with SSD

[Forcen]

Hi there! Today I replaced storage from 64gb to 512gb (ssd).
This SSD is working fine on my main computer, there is no issues. Before replacing SSD was formatted to GPT, ext4.
This is photo from steam deck bios:

As you can see steam deck detect SSD in bios, but I can't re-imagine steam OS, coz error "no nvme drive detected".
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, my Linux skills is to low

You have to boot from an external device, such as an usb key, into a live image of an os, such as steamos, arch linux or whatever to prepare the SSD.

you have to boot from an external device into the SteamOS live image to be able to prepare the SSD from here

I boot from USB-flash with steam recovery image. I clicked "re-image steamOS", and then terminal wrote "no nvme drive detected".

You don't see your disk if you type fdisk -l ?

If you can't access a terminal with the SteamOS image you can boot with the official arch linux iso

[Forcen]

didn't see, only my USB flash drive

It sounds like it is not correctly installed, I think you have to start the installation again
In case you don't know the article but I guess yes https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Steam+Deck+SSD+Replacement/148989

I hope you sort it out

What model SSD did you get?

Not all M.2 disks are NVMe. You need to make sure the disk you are using is a Key-M M.2 NVMe 1.4 SSD. Technically you should also be able to use an NVMe 1.3 SSD.

If when you boot the live image, you are able to open a terminal (I am unfamiliar as Valve refuses to sell Decks in my country, /s mandatory bitter "Not available in my country" rant), you can check if the drive indeed is detected as nvme with either of these commands:

ls /dev/nvme*

You should see something similar to (this is the one in my laptop)

$ ls /dev/nvme*
/dev/nvme0    /dev/nvme0n1p1  /dev/nvme0n1p3  /dev/nvme0n1p5
/dev/nvme0n1  /dev/nvme0n1p2  /dev/nvme0n1p4  /dev/nvme0n1p6

or

$ lsblk
nvme0n1     259:0    0 953.9G  0 disk 
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1    0 976.6M  0 part /boot/efi
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2    0   1.9G  0 part /boot
├─nvme0n1p3 259:3    0  15.3G  0 part 
├─nvme0n1p4 259:4    0    80G  0 part /
├─nvme0n1p5 259:5    0   256G  0 part /home
└─nvme0n1p6 259:6    0 599.7G  0 part 

This is the topology of that drive, i omitted two partitions that I mount manually under my home directory. Be aware that there are S-ATA drives mounted onto M.2 keys, these drives will be detected as regular serial block devices, i.e sda, sdb, etc, under /dev

I will try it after my job.
I only see my SSD In "minitools partition wizard" on bootable USB, but this soft based for windows. I didn't try, but thinks that I can easy install Windows 10 on this steam deck with this ssd. But steam recovery image can't see ssd, and Gparted live USB didn't see my ssd on deck

You still haven't said what SSD you are using. Would help if you actually provided people with the details of the things you are asking for help with.

For now I clone my 64gb hdd to external ssd via clonezilla. After it I trying to clone external ssd to my new ssd via clonezilla, but on my main PC. Main PC didn't detect new ssd if using Linux soft, only Windows soft can detect it. (* was GPT, ex4)

Do you have that in English?

I don't read that language, however, it looks like its conflicting information as it appears to be listed as both NVMe and SATA. My guess is that it is actually a SATA SSD which isn't supported on Steam Deck.

[PopinFRESH]

Yeah from Google translate, that says "Interface Type: SATA". That SSD is not going to work for the Steam Deck as it does not support SATA interfaces.

Return it if you can and get an actual PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe 1.4 SSD

update: this ssd detects only by Windows. I test ssd on my main PC, its detect same like on steam deck (only on windows or windows software)

see photo from 1st post, bios detect it as nvme
