So, my problem is exactly what the title says. My SSD is randomly disappearing from Disk Management and File Explorer.

 

I just purchased a Samsung 870QVO 2TB 560mb/s w/r SSD and "sometimes" after restarting or booting up my PC the drive shows up perfectly, already in a simple volume and it still has one file that I put in it. After a few minutes of browsing the drive falls off the face of my computer as if it was never there. I have restarted my PC twice and made sure the connections are secure, all the cables are brand new and the other hardware is also good.

 

I've never ran across this issue before, other than my two previous HDD's burning out somehow, and I'm not too sure how to fix it. I've read in some places that others have replaced the drives for a different brand but the issue still comes up, I haven't been able to find a solution in any other forums and where there is a link it is not valid. I'll put down my PC Parts for a "reference" but I'm mostly looking to see if I can get it fixed before I go to a hardware store.

 

Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z490-E GAMING

RAM: 2x16 GB DDR4 CORSAIR 3200MGHZ

GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 1660 6G VRAM

CPU: I-9 1085K 3.60GHZ

STORAGE: SAMSUNG SSD 980 PRO 1TB 7000MB/S R/W

 

Quick Update:

I have swapped out the SSD that is going out, the QVO 890 Samsung, and it still seems to be disappearing. I have swapped out the drive and the cables. The only new thing I have done to this PC is add a GPU and the SSD. As far as I know, I have installed all the proper drives that is needed and the problem persists.
