When I start my new computer, it prompts me to reboot or choose the correct boot device or insert a boot media into the selected slot and press a key. I checked the BIOS settings but found no alternative boot options besides the SSD already installed. I’ve moved the SSD to another slot, yet it doesn’t work. I’m unsure what to do next.
It seems there might be an issue with your system. Have you attempted to replace the cables?
It's a small SSD called Silicon Power 512GB NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen3x4 2280. Available on Amazon. Updated by thecoolestman207 on January 9, 2023.
M.2 remains a solid-state drive, but it might be showing signs of trouble. I often remind people to buy quality, and these units are about half the price of WD models.
I usually suggest the WD Blue line. They offer solid performance (I own three or four) and provide excellent value. To be clear, I'm not forcing Silicon Power, as I actually have an SP 256GB SATA drive in my setup. However, I haven't experienced enough real-world use to fully rely on it. Western Digital has a long history, too—I remember getting a Western Digital hard drive for my first computer around 1989-1990. @thecoolestman207 EDIT: I’d try your current drive in another machine with CrystalDisk if you can.
