Just got back from ASRock support and they said it is a motherboard and SN850X compatibility issue. The motherboard does not support the SN850X SSD due to the mismatch Pin define.

I did check the storage QVL list and the SN850X is not listed there. The previous generation is listed, the SN750. The same technically goes for the 970 EVO Plus. 970 EVO is listed there but 970 EVO Plus isn't. I don't know if all this matters or not. I contacted ASRock support a few days ago...

So I decided to try a PCIe M.2 adapter myself and sure enough, it detected the WD_BLACK SN850X. I tried it in the M2_1 M.2 slot again and it isn't detected. It's weird how it detects the Samsung 970 EVO Plus but not the SN850X. Both are NVMe PCIe, the only difference is that SN850X is Gen 4 and...

My friend tried the SSD in their system. They tried a PCIe M.2 adapter card and a regular M.2 slot. It worked both times, so the drive seems to be working. Not sure what to do next.

As a last resort I'll have my friend try it in their system. If that doesn't work then it's off to a very long and uncomfortable customer service process.

I tried the SN850X in the other M.2 port but it didn't show up there as well either.

Ah, what wonderful news... I'll try switching the SN850X to the other M.2 port when I have the time and see if that changes anything.

No, it doesn't. It doesn't show up in Western Digital Dashboard app aswell either.

The 970 EVO is in the M2_1 slot and the new SN850X is in the M2_2 slot. I know that the SN850X is Gen4 and significantly faster, I got it on a sale and couldn't give it up. I'm either way upgrading my motherboard at some point to fully utilize the SN850X, so I'm fine with slower speeds. The...

I have a ASRock B450 Steel Legend motherboard, AMD Ryzen 5 2600X CPU and I have a Samsung 970 EVO Plus. It is used as a boot drive and right now for other stuff as well. I had a ADATA SU650 SSD for games which almost died and I tried to replace it with a WD_BLACK SN850X, which doesn't work and...

Here is an example of a goof that happened because I knew little about M.2 SSDs. These are the 2 M.2 sockets on my motherboard, taken from the manual: 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Vermeer, Matisse...

I tried reseating the SATA cable and I even tried a new cable. Ran the test again but it performed the same. I also tried downloading ADATA's own SSD software to try and update the firmware. That also didn't help plus ADATA's own software's diagnostic scan fails when scanning the SSD. I decided...

Here are the screenshots.

For the past 3 or so weeks I've had problem with games that are installed on one of my SSD's. My games and applications take forever to boot up and often the in-game assets and textures take forever to load or they don't load at all. For instance, in CS:GO loading a map takes so long that I've...

I used DDU to reinstall my display drivers, I updated my MOBO chipset drivers and BIOS, but the issue still sadly remains.
