Back on June 17 I got an external PC SSD enclosure for an M2 SSD. At that time it worked perfectly. Moving up to today, August 24. (haven't used the drive since) I plug it in and now whenever I try to copy data to it or run a benchmark, my whole system goes crazy. USB devices disconnect and reconnect, the drive disconnects, all my bluetooth connections drop. I've never seen anything like it. Can't run disk check or even format it.
A standard SSD in an external enclosure works fine, my INTERNAL M2 SSD also works fine. I haven't done any software updates since June except for the ones automatically pushed by microsoft.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this or what it could be?
The system is an Alienware R11 with windows 10 version 20h2 19042.1826 which was auto installed just a few days ago.
I've tried the drive in two different M2 SSD enclosures and on different USB ports with the same results. However the drive/enclosure seems to be working fine when I test it with my Macbook. I need to find a different windows computer with USB 3.1 to see if the problem is common with other machines.
