[SOLVED] M.2 SSD Disconnects when launching game

[DubZeroSP_1]

Using a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB.

Click play on a game, it starts loading.

At some point in initial startup game freezes, then disk ceases to exist according to Windows.

According to CrystalDiskInfo, SSD should be fine.

Samsung Magician also reports "Good" Health, temps peak at 52C.

I've disconnected and reinserted the disk many times.

Specs are:
750W Corsair PSU
ASUS B450M-A II (BIOS Ver. 3802)
32GB 3600MHz RAM
Ryzen 3600 (AMD Latest Chipset Drivers Installed, from Mobo manufacturer website)
RTX 3060 (517.48)
60GB Team L7 EVO SSD
3TB Hitachi HDD
Samsung 980 Pro 2TB (Latest Firmware according to Samsung Magician)

If anyone has ideas, I'd be happy to hear them.
So far it seems Cyberpunk 2077 and Hell Let Loose are affected as I can play OW2 just fine and the drive is still here.

What is this drive used for? OS? What port is it populating on the motherboard?

(AMD Latest Chipset Drivers Installed, from Mobo manufacturer website)
Use the driver found on AMD's support site. Simply reinstall the chipset driver in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

Installed the most recent Chipset drivers, restarted.
Attempted to launch Hell Let Loose then...
Got hit with "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\RaidPort1."
And then "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk2\DR2 during a paging operation."
According to Event Viewer.

It's a hand-me-down from my dad.
It's new to me, but clearly has been through the gutter.

Either your dad was running a datacenter on this, or there was some serious mining malware going on.

Or, it is a faulty drive.

Either way, is there anything I can do now other than replacing it?

Still (theoretically) under warranty.
What does Samsung say about a warranty replacement?

There is no magic clicky clicky fix.
