Question Sabrent rocket 1tb ssd keeps disconnecting from pciex16_2.0 slot any answers?

[Ajredding2]

I have a b350-f motherboard with a ryzen 2700x with a 256 gb Sabrent ssd as my boot drive. 2 hdd totaling 3tb of memory and the graphics card is a 1070ti DUKE.
currently I am trying to add a the 1tb sabrent pics nvme 3.0 ssd to my pc using a pcie16 adapter.
However whenever I plug it in it works fine until I get to the point of trying to install anything to it. It ends up disconnecting itself in the drive manager and then I have to restart to get it to register again. I have already updated my bios as well. From what I can tell it shows up in bios just fine until it gets disconnected dial management.

Two issues are probably happening in here, it sounds like for one the pcie card is faulty. Two m.2 cards HATE pcie 2.0, it has been proven time and time again that pcie adapters to m.2 ssd in 2.0, fail more often then an original mobo using ram in the wrong channels

The thing that confuses me the most is that it works just fine until I get to windows and try and do anything with it. It then just says disconnected.
I have tried it in the second pcie16 that is 3.0 but my system won’t post with it in there.

The 2nd slot will only work on Ryzen CPUs.

The PCIe 2.0 slot (which is only x4 electrically) only works when #1/#3 of the x1 slots are empty. You can explicitly set it to x4 (or x2, if that works) in the UEFI, for Onboard Devices Configuration under the Advanced Menu.
