Hello After I connected a second M.2 NVMe SSD (2Tb), I started having issues with its operation. While my first M.2 NVMe SSD (500GB) works perfectly, the second one stops being recognized by the system after a few minutes. The drive is new, and I even tried replacing it with another identical one, but the problem remained. I also tried swapping the slots between the two drives, but the issue still persisted. A SMART test using the manufacturer’s utility showed that the drive shuts down after some time, which likely means it stops receiving power. What can I do to get the second SSD to work? Thank you.

The test was completed successfully. The recognised SSD works properly in both slots. When a second drive is connected, it is also successfully recognised, but stops working after some time. Image via the link: https://ibb.co/7dMX4yB2

jooli Hi there,
1.Please test the SSD with diagnostic software: Use a diagnostic software tool to check the health of the SSD，such as DiskGenius.
2.Please put the recognised SSD in another slot and see if it is recognised to check if the slot is the problem.
3.Please repeatedly press delete key as soon as you turn on the PC, go to BIOS. Please send us a picture of the main page, we will check if you need to update the BIOS.

Thank you

I’ve noticed something more: as long as I’m just downloading something from the internet to this drive (write speed of about 10 MB/s), the drive works fine. But as soon as I start installing something to the drive (write speed much higher), after few seconds the drive stops being recognized.

jooli Okay,we’ve informed our tester.

At the same time, according to the sensors, the drive’s temperature never rises above 45 degrees
