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

2022-11-25T08:32:33+00:00 I also tried the procedure described and was perfect since I have the power plugged, as I use battery, in sllep mode, reboots...
does someone use other settings to keep the surface alive with this drive. Aslo seems to drain more battery
(WD SN 740 - very very fast, but not reliable)

so i been having the same issue as everyone else and what fixed the issue for me was a low level format of the ssd and downloading the AHCI Link Power Management HIPM-DIPM Power Options after you download the power options set it up to active and it should fix the issue btw im using a bg5 ssd
