Hi all, I am having issues adding a samsung 970 evo plus 1TB to my system, I have a ROG STRIX X470-F GAMING Motherboard which has two m.2 sockets (Socket A and socket B). Socket A has a nvme ssd which i am using as my boot drive. Socket B only supports nvme at 2X speed, so i can read and wright at about 1.5 GB per second however the samsung 970 evo plus 1TB read/write up to 3,500/3,300 MB/s.
So I planed for this and got a ORICO PSM2 M.2 NVME TO PCI-E 3.0 X4 EXPANSION CARD so i can put it in either my other free PCIE16 slots.
The problem is not matter what i do the m.2 in the Expansion card has an initiation issue, in windows if i go to disk management it just hangs there. The drive does show up in device manager however if i right click on it and go properties the window will hang. I cannot even restart the system because it is stuck at trying to initialize the drive.
I do have the samsung nvme drivers installed with the latest version of windows 10 and latest BIOS.
The drive does show in the BIOS however when i tried to test in some linux boot disks they fail to start (maybe of the disk initialize?). I was able to boot a partition magic image and it saw the drive, was able to format it however same initiation issue in windows.
So i moved the new nvme to my 2x m.2 socket. Kind of would have liked to run at 4x speed through.
Have i missed something?
