Hello! I recently got this problem with my 1 year old sx 6000 lite 512gb m.2 SSD.

It keeps randomly disapearing on my system. First bios wont recognize it. I have to reseat it. Then bios will recognize but windows not. I have to restart pc coupel times in ordcer to get it working. It sometimes happens once a week, sometimes couple times in a day!

 

Things ive tried:

Clean windows 10 install.

Newest bios.

Newest chipset. T

Tried with other m.2 slot

The thing is, i wont notice that it is not recognize until i try to launch something from it. There is no warning or anything that the drive is not working as intended. What more can i do?

 

specs:

Strix b550-A

r7 3700x

strix 5700XT

Other drives:

250gig sata ssd (sustem)

1tb HDD (secondary game drive)

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

This happened to me once but I was using the wrong modular sata cable. When I changed to the correct cable it worked fine. Are you sure you're using the correct cable?

What does CrystalDiskInfo say?

It seems fine now atleast. the upper slot seems working.

On the slot below the gpu the ssd was over 50c all the time. that could be the culprit. 

Also i forgot the standoff so i just screwed the m.2ssd straight to the mobo 🙂

now it is with standoff.

 

Homever i will not mark this solved yet. I have to see if the problem occurs again.

whoops, sorry, I missed that detail.

I was going to jokingly say you didn't just screw it straight into the motherboard like the Verge PC guy did you, but it sounds as though you actually did do that.
Anyway, your ssd is PCIE gen 3x4. Your mobo has 2 m.2 slots. The upper is pcie4 and the lower is pcie3.
You can use either slot. Just make sure in your bios it is set to pcie 3 x4 mode not auto or anything else
