This appears to be a hardware problem rather than a software issue. It's improbable you damaged the drive. If it does fail, it was a defective unit from the start.
You're experiencing a boot issue with your M.2 SSD on the Gigabyte B650. It appears to work in older systems but not in newer ones, especially with Windows. The situation seems linked to compatibility problems between SteamOS and Gigabyte's hardware. The referenced post might offer some insights, though it's unclear if it applies to your case. It seems the problem could be related to firmware or driver conflicts rather than the SSD itself.
