Issue:
- I've bought 2 nvme m2 ssds the last couple of weeks and still haven't been able to use either of them properly.
- I bought first a Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 2TB SSD. The ssd was recognized in the bios but in Windows it would either not get detected or I would get an error message saying "Error 0x800701B1: A device which does not exist was specified. If I tried to format it, it wouldn't let me do so.
- Actions that me and the technician I took it to tried to fix the problem: bios update, enabled CSM compatibility in bios, reset bios to default settings
- I returned the ssd thinking it was faulty, and got myself the Firecuda 530 M.2 Nvme SSD 2TB.
- The issue persists, now when I try to access a file or copy a file from / to the SSD, I get the error message: "D:\Temp is not accesible. A device which does not exist was specified."
- The SSD only worked when I made a fresh install of Windows, and it was working normally up to the point when I installed Adrenalin (or PRO Edition as it's now called) with all the AMD drivers.
- After the drivers were installed the issue re-appeared.
Any idea which specific driver might be the one causing the issue and what to do to correct this? I found this case, with lots of people having some issue with an AMD RAID driver but it doesn't seem to apply to my issue, as I only have 1 M.2 ssd and in the drivers for Storage Controllers I don't see any AMD ones. So what drivers might be responsible for this? Any thoughts?
