    My unusual setup fails: 2 different NVMe system drives


    Hey there,

    i'm trying to get this special kind of system setup:
    2 different NVMe system drives, that occasionally i'll take one of them out of the pc, pysycally, while at this time, the pc will boot from the other system drive.

    I bought this PCI to NVMe adapter: 3 in 1 mSATA M.2 PCIE NVMe SSD to PCI E 3.0 4X SATA 3.0 Adapter Card for M2 NVMe AHCI SATA mSATA Solid State Disk Converter|Add On Cards| - AliExpress

    Whenever an ssd drive is connected through the pci adapter -the operation system cannot load. most of the times it resets the pc right after windows's welcome screen.
    Also, when trying to install a fresh install of windows to the ssd drive while it's connected through the pci adapter, it resets on the installion process.

    I tried to install windows on the same ssd drive while the ssd connected directly to the mother board, without the pci adapter. this is the only way i can install windows.

    the same ssd drive works perfectly while connected directly to the mother board.

    Is it a faulty adapter? or is there some setting i can change?

    videos:
    Reset while loging in to windows:
    Oops, something lost while log on with PCI to NVMe adapter.mp4
    Reset while installing windows:
    Oops, something lost while install windows with PCI to NVMe adapter.mp4

    Many thanks, Daniel.

    :)

    Is there anyway i can export BIOS settings and uploadit here like i did with window?

    But there is no sata port in use, so is it matter?
