Question M.2 SSD stops being detected randomly ?

[Dark Sorrow]

I have a Samsung 980 NVMe M.2 SSD 1TB which randomly stops being detected on my
Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H Rev. 2 motherboard.

Everyday I boot for the first time the drive is not detected and after 3-4 reboots the drive gets detected.
I've to go in BIOS screen and reset the primary boot drive.

From past couple of days the drive is stop being detected after Windows has booted. Daily I've to restart 3-4 times due to this.

Just wanted to confirm if this is an SSD issue or motherboard issue.

My SSD is just shy of 2 yeas old while my motherboard is almost 6 years old.

Try reseating the m.2 a few times see if it makes a diff.

Thanks for the advice.

Don't know why but re-seating the M.2 SSD solved the problem.

Can you tell me why this happens? I'd checked. Before re-seating , the drive was properly mounted.

Bad connection.....sometimes just a reseat does a little scraping of the contacts now the connection is good.
