B450M-HDV r4 + 500gb SATA SSD corruption

Hello,

I have a newly built PC. Windows 10 1809 (build 17763.503)
ASRock B450M-HDV R4 (BIOS v2.30 using 18.50 Allin one driver pack)
Ryzen 5 1600
Sapphire RX570 4gb
16gb G.Skill Fortis RAM
beQuiet 500W 80+ bronze

All running stock no over/under clocking.

I have an NVMe boot drive (Corsair MP500 Gen 3) M.2
I purchased the WD 3D 500gb as my data drive, I connected it up and booted into Windows 10. I opened Disk Management which told me about the new disk, I used GPT, created the partition, and then attempted to format the partition. At which point windows began logging disk errors in the event log: Event Id 153 ?œThe IO operation at logical block address xxxxxx for Disk 0 (PDO name: \Device\00000031) was retried.??

The SATA cable came new with the MB, the only item that isn?™t brand new is the RX570. If I use the same cables and connect an old 2.5" mechanical hard drive it works without issue. I returned two Corsair BX500 drives because I thought they we bad as they did the same thing and trying them in another PC showed the dives were unusable. At least the WD drive wasn't completely killed.

Here is the kicker, I connected the WD 3D to a USB 2.0 external SATA enclosure, plugged it in and Windows stated it needed to format the drive before it could use it. I let it and it went off without a hitch :thinking: it is like the SATA ports are bad? I doubled checked the manual to see if it said something like if you use the M.2 Ultra connector you can't use SATA ports x which I didn't see.

Any idea?

I just checked the drivers under storage controllers in device manager
Microsoft Storage Spaces Controller - MS driver 10.0.17763.404
Standard NVM Express Controller - MS driver 10.0.17763.404

I didn't install the SATA Floppy image drivers as they all say RAID on them and I am not utilizing a RAID setup.

Thank you
Jon
