Your questions got me thinking and I pulled an EVO 960 out of the laptop that birthed the devil THNSN5256GPU7. Guess what, you're right, the EVO 960 works in all 3 slots. Now I can close all my RMAs and put away my pitchfork. I ran the OCZ Clout tool in Linux to see if there were any possible firmware updates, but I didn't see any. Looks like this drive will live in slot M2_2 and continue the coincidence of working.
Well, your response is little over the top. You have to understand my perspective: I'd seen the Toshiba drive work on TWO computers without issue and had seen nothing work in the ASRock motherboard. Initial google searches show a few threads and reviews with identical error reports and no resolution. Furthermore, the communications with ASRock included the model of the SSD and it didn't raise concern with them. I had little reason to suspect the THNSN5256GPU7. Suspecting the motherboard was the most rational initial response. It was, as stated above, wrong. Would be curious to learn more about this OEM locking you speak of. Does it have a formal name I can research?

That wasn't over the top, just MY perspective, from where I sit w/o having your hardware in front of me. I had my own repair shop with employees. I can't say I've seen it all yet I have seen an awful lot.
hehe I know your perspective you found yourself in. It's a lonely, dark, place. Been there, done that. I'm just glad you didn't ship it off to RMA Land but instead found your answers here first. That would have been a major disappointment. All is fine there, that's what counts. Enjoy! hehe And please, consider ASRock on your next purchase ![]() |

Do something for me(us) before you get too far along with the 960.
In the BIOS, disable Secure Boot, and check that Toshiba in the other two positions. Maybe, just maybe ........ Post back your results if you would please |

I won't be able to give this a try for a while, everything is buttoned back up, Toshiba drive in M2_2 and 960 Evo back in the laptop. I'll keep this in mind next time I tear in to them and follow-up. When I did test them, I didn't try any of the NVMe drives simultaneously (too lazy to find the spare M2 screws that are stashed away). I did try each NVMe drive in each M2 slot, one at a time with no SATA devices connected.

Ok SO I rmad three asrock z270 taichi mobos it is definitely an ocdrd400 problem. All three motherboars can only read the oczrd400 in m-2 slot on the mobo. Mobo slot 1 and 3 will not read the oczrd400.

Oh Snap. Those are OCZ Retail drives? Can you share the exact part number and the firmware version of your drives? What UEFI version?

Have you reported this to OCZ/Toshiba? If other NVMe SSDs (960 EVO for example) work fine in all M.2 slots, but the RD400 doesn't then IMO that is more of an OCZ issue than an ASRock issue. Yikes, three board RMAs for nothing... how do mother board manufactures stay in business? ![]() |
