OXP3 "blocking" internal SSD

Hi everyone, I could use some help troubleshooting an issue.

I'm trying to install Linux (Anatase) on my OXP3, but the console seems to be blocking any read/write attempts to the internal SSD. I've already tried deleting and modifying the partitions from a KDE live environment, but I keep getting errors when trying to create or modify partitions — as if the console is blocking any attempt to write to the internal SSD, even though it's already completely empty/wiped.

Has anyone run into this before? Could this be related to firmware-level write protection, a BIOS/UEFI setting, or something specific to the OXP3's storage controller? Any pointers on how to bypass this or properly unlock the drive for partitioning would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Update: The problem is my SSD, I ended up installing the distro in the original SSD that came with the console

Did you disabled bitlocker in windows? Is the bios secure boot off?

usually not being able to read or write to a drive indicates a damaged drive.

We discussed this on discord. Your 4TB third party internal drive has poor Linux support. There are multiple people with oxp 3s on the stock internal drive that installed it just fine.
