1.) You wouldn’t be the first one
2.) It happened to me, too. Moved my NVMe SSD from motherboards M.2 slot (connected to H97 chipset Gen 2 x 2) to PCIe slot with adapter card (connected directly to processor Gen 3 x 4) and had to re-seat it in the connector…
(My NVMe SSD worked connected to H97 chipset with RST 16.8.2.1002 driver, but not when installed via adapter card- had to use Windows10 native driver?)
