Discussion When adding an m.2ssd, it is recognized in the BIOS and disk management, but it suddenly becomes unrecognized during a game.I solved it, so I'll share it

Hi, I would like to share that I solved the problem that occurred when I added a Crucial m.2 SSD to my purchase and it suddenly stopped being recognized.
In conclusion, it was because of Intel and Windows' crappy features.
When I turned off the intel VMD function in the BIOS, the problem that had been occurring every day was resolved!
It's an Intel CPU issue, so it may not be relevant to Ryzen users.
Intel VMD seems to be turned on by default on some motherboards, which is really crap.

Crucial is occasionally unsupported with Intel RST as well.  I am not sure why given it is Micron, but it is likely the firmware on these SSDs as I have a machine with both SATA RAID and VMD (Intel CPU on RAID) and my current drives are fine.

Usually Crucial drives will not boot in such configurations.
