I have a primary M.2 SSD (WD SN770) that I use as a boot drive which works fine, but the secondary SATA SSD will sometimes randomly stop working which necessitates a restart, after which it works fine.
I just built this PC last month, however the SSD in question is 2 years old and it was the primary OS drive in my previous build where it worked without issues, so I assume this has to do with my motherboard.
I ran an extended S.M.A.R.T. test using Samsung Magician on the SSD, and chkdsk /f. None of them reported any errors.
How do I troubleshoot the exact cause? Additionally, my external HDD was also getting disconnected randomly yesterday while downloading stuff on it. Could these 2 issues be related?
My full specs:
ASrock B650E Steel Legend WiFi
Ryzen 5 7600
2x16GB G.Skill DDR5 6000MHz
RX 6700XT
Corsair RM850e
