Has anyone ever had this issue with NVMe SSDs?
“A device which does not exist was specified.”
Is this a hardware defect? The drive (PNY CS3140 1TB) is only about 5 weeks old. It seems to fix itself after a couple of reboots, but it’s very annoying. Linux doesn’t seem to have any issues with it yet.

@BananaTrifleViolin Good idea. The M.2 slot was left unpopulated for years before I added this drive. It’s possible that some dust got in there causing a connection issue.
I re-seated it and wiggled it around a bit to ensure any dust between the contacts got out of the way. It’s being properly recognised now, but we’ll see for how long.
Did you remember the standoff?
@Thorry84 Yes, of course.
Excellent! Just checking.
When I got an extra SSD for my system I spent an hour looking through bags of screws to find the correct standoff.
