change SD card, some SD cards have compatibility issues.

i want to use SSD safer , faster , better option . i have new one but the pi5 don't see the ssd ,
this is the one that i use Transcend 240GB SATA III 6Gb/s MTS420S 42mm M.2 SSD 420S Solid State Drive , but it is NOT found by server . or is this kingspec NXM-2242, 3500MB/s better ?

Pi5 server board can install SSD disk, just need open black box.
