My problems are back ... apparently related to my SN750, now being used for Windows (not macOS)
I woke up this morning to the "3rd party NVMe controller. Controller fatal bit set." freeze and warning.
Here's what's my configuration and why I'm stumped
Hackintosh Boot Drive: SN770 2TB
Windows Boot Drive: SN750 2TB
I got the "3rd party NVMe controller. Controller fatal bit set." warning related to the SN750 (which is the Windows boot drive)...in macOS?
Is it possible that macOS has them confused?
Could I be getting a panic in macOS, for a Windows Boot Drive ... somehow?
Is macOS trying to write some kind of data to that for some reason anyhow?
Another data point -- this system was running flawlessly the last week with:
Hack Boot Drive: SN570 1TB
Windows Boot Drive: SN750 2TB
Just yesterday I did a Clonezilla from the SN570 1TB to the new SN770 2TB .. all went well and I used the system for many more hours last night after the clone... and then I woke up to that panic this AM
1. I'm confused why macOS is freezing with an NVMe panic related to the Windows Boot Drive (SN750)
2. It it just coincidence that this came the morning after a drive switch on the macOS side?
3. Could the combo of the SN770 + SN750 be somehow using too much power or something else the SN570 wasn't doing?
4. Maybe just the presence of the SN750 anywhere in my build is the issue?
I don't know what to do here.
WD tools and CrystalDisk both show no issues for either NVMe drive.
The SN750 is firmware up to date.
The SN770 did have a firmware update which I've applied -- but again, the macOS panic mentioned the SN750?
(I'll attach the panic as a text file)
I'd really appreciate any thoughts -- I'm so bummed this somehow has returned.
I thought by switching my boot drive away from the SN750 I'd been saved
Thoughts...
1. Maybe I need to get rid of the SN750 even for Windows usage?
2. Perhaps I need to step down to just SN570/SN580 class drives (for mac or win or both)?
3. I really don't care about the class or speed of the drive, etc -- I just want stability!
