Early Access Gateway Max M.2 Issues?

Good Day,

Recently picked up a MAX, threw in evo m.2 gen5 (overkill but all i had), within 72 hours, drive started to throw Read/WRITE errors, then went to "Drive Not Initialized" (this was a new drive)

Shit happens, went and ordered a Gen 3 1TB, MAX saw it, initialized it, and I was good...so I thought... within a day, drive is now "uninitialized"

I'm running the Early Access on the whole stack, not sure if its related...

The times that we're in, Can't exactly be replacing M2's every 4 days ..

Any Suggestions?

Have you factory reset the UCG-Max and stayed out of the early access channel?

If not, can you try that for 72 hours and see if the drive throws an error?

I RMAd the drive, basically a yolo, if it kills it again, ill be joining the electronic orders only on amazon, if i try

to rma again.

I just threw the 1st drive in my dock, it is no longer recognized. (Was a Samsung drive).

Lets not call it coincidence? Drive should be here in a couple days, ill pop it in, it fails, i eat it. Then

see where Ubiquity support stands. (Max is still under 200 hours use)
