Question ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F not working with Silicon Power ACE SATA drive

[kusho]

I have an ASUS ROG STRIX B350-F motherboard. Recently I bought a new SATA SSD, to upgrade from 1TB to 4TB but it didn't seem to work. I see that there is a SATA Express port, will it work on that one, and which one is it, or will it just not work.

I am trying to install Windows 11 on this drive, have 2 other storage HDDs using SATA and 1 M.2 SSD as my Fedora Linux Drive. I dual boot.
When I boot the Win 11 installer it detects the new 4TB SSD, but after installing it reboots and I get a blue screen. I forget the error code, but appears this drive is not usable. I have tried many times, and even replaced the drive with the same model, asking Newegg to replace. Will SATAIII not work on this motherboard?

Drive I am trying to use is

Silicon Power ACE A58 SLC Cache Performance Boost 2.5" 4TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal SSD (SU004TBSS3A58A25SN)​

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Yes, SATA III based 2.5" SSD's should work with your motherboard, provided you have a SATA III port available for populating with a drive.

When I boot the Win 11 installer it detects the new 4TB SSD, but after installing it reboots and I get a blue screen.
Have you gone through this guide:

?

I advise to install Windows 11 first, then install Linux, for seamless transition/setup.

tried the Silicon Power ACE A58 SLC Cache Performance Boost 2.5" 4TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal SSD
but when I installed Win 11 24H2 on it, windows detected it, and installed, but on reboot blue screen.
Tried several times, and replaced drive with identical drive, same error.

went back to
WD Blue 3D NAND 1TB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5"/7mm Solid State Drive - WDS100T2B0A
this works but only 1TB... guess both are SATA III, so not sure why the Silicon Power drive just doesn't seem to work.

Nextorage Japan 4TB Internal SSD Work with Playstation 5 and PC M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe with Heatsink
this has Fedora on it, but had bios set to Win Boot or USB boot for install, so non issue

Ok, so the working drive is also SATAIII so that doesn't seem to be the problem, but why is it that the Silicon Power ACE drive doesn't work? I had the first drive replaced with an identical drive, and both do not work. This means that it is some type of compatibility, and the drive had good reviews, so I don't think that particular drive is just bad... so why is it that it didn't work in my system?
