Hello,

is the Surface 8 Pro compatible with PCIe 4 drives or can I only use PCIe 3 ssd?

If not all drives are compatible, which drives work?

Best regards,

Peter

I've contacted Surface's support center, and asked for help.

Got this a response stating to reinstall windows, and if it doesn't solve means SSD is damaged.

Need help from everyone to open a support ticket, so we can make our case.

Well, I have the same issue with my Surface 9 2tb wd740.

A lot of bsods during the installation of Windows.

Then turned both parameters in electricity plan as it was discussed above.

Now I still have bsods twice-three times a day.

windows updates are installed....

Any more ideas? I ve tired of it( And I dont wont to return to my 256gb)

Maybe really reinstall the system with the scripts above? Or they just change electricity parameters which i ve already changed?

There are two options for you:

1 is choosing a different SSD with PCIe gen 3.

2 is that following the instructions may partially fix the problem (but sometimes the computer will reboot)
