Google the exact Kioxia model to see if it has a dram cache. The other 2 do not and I would not use them as my primary drive. See whats on the local used market. There should be plenty of good ones as many people are switching to Nvme m2 drives.

What does GPU-z say your pcie slot is running at? For speed, pcie version, and pcie lanes?

Whats speed is the infinity fabric at? should be 2k What socket is your nvme drive in?

I don't see Kingston listing your ram as being compatible with that motherboard. it goes from 5600 to 6400. https://www.kingston.com/en/memory/search/model/106216/asrock-z790-pro-rs-motherboard?totalcapacity=32&capacity=16

Probably a gpu vbios issue, it was common with the rx580's

While you're correct about the bandwidth, what happens is that all 16lanes of a pcie5 slot will "downgrade" to match the spec of the card installed. The reverse is true also if you insert a v5 card into a v3 slot. Ain't modern computing great! :)

The 'deleting itself' issue has me thinking this is a fake drive. That is the kind of behavior they do when you try to put more on them than they actually have space for.

Remove power, then remove the GPU, and clean its contacts. Reassemble and test. Enter the bios and make sure bifurcation for the slot is turned off.

Make sure your NVME drive is in the lower M2 slot if you have one, those lanes come from the chipset and not the CPU. Make sure your GPU is plugged into the uppermost PCIE slot, closest to the CPU. Make sure your display is plugged into the GPU and not theones on the motherboard. In your...

What games are you hoping to play?

If your external drive is a dedicated external drive then writing images of your current drive to it is the way to go forward. You can keep multiple images on it in case the current OS & image have an issue that you didnt discover right off, then you still have a working image to fall back on...

Are you sure its not 10Gb's? B = Bytes b= bits (and 8 bits make a Byte)

'exact' replica's? I dont think they make such a printer yet. The most I've seen is an 5 color printer so far.
