Has anyone ever had this issue with NVMe SSDs?

"A device which does not exist was specified."

Is this a hardware defect? The drive (PNY CS3140 1TB) is only about 5 weeks old. It seems to fix itself after a couple of reboots, but it's very annoying. Linux doesn't seem to have any issues with it yet.

Update: Solved by re-seating the drive in the slot: https://ma.fellr.net/users/fell/statuses/113883457441026891

You can power it off, unplug it, remove the drive, and use a small clean and dry paint brush to ensure there is no dust in there.

Since it is happening with Windows and Linux you may be looking at a bad drive. It would make sense to RMA it.

You can use ipa if you pull the cmos battery (backup your bios settings first)

I would only do that if it was grimy. Dust would normally brush off. If OP smokes or anything like that then rubbing alcohol would be appropriate.
