Setup:

Amfeltec Squid Carrier Card
4 nvme WD Black 1tb blades
Mac Pro 2019

I've had this setup for the last few weeks and have been noticing random disk ejections from sleep. But I can't diagnose whether it's SoftRaid, the pci-e card or the blades. Is there a way to troubleshoot exactly what might be causing the issue?

It is not SoftRAID.

My guess is it is the PCI bus.

Try resetting NVRAM, to see if this helps:
command option pr at startup.

Let us know, maybe there is more we can help research. I have seen one other instance of blades ejecting, before these, we assuming the eject was pretty exclusively a Thunderbolt problem.

Reset the nvram so I'll see later today if it helps. But I'll go ahead and pull the card and reseat the blades to make sure.

I reset the nvram and pulled the card and blades but it didn't help. It appears a blade is ejecting and according to softraid its id 3 but I'm not certain how to tell which blade it could be. I thought maybe it referred to the 4th blade but I pulled it out and put it in another available m.2 slot but it didn't help.

I tried to attach some log data it case it may help but the forum won't allow it.

Your clue is 087655F76F952C00.
You can also put a "Disk Label" on the blades to make it easier to identify. You may need to slowly identify which disk is dropping out by removing disks until you locate the one which is disk ID 087655F76F952C00

I pinpointed the blade that's disconnecting and moved it to another slot to see if its the blade or the m.2 slot. so far so good. I'll post back with any new info

Well, I marked what I thought was the issue nvme blade but after moving it to another open m.2 slot, it worked fine but then after about 2 days the problem returned. This time it was two blades disconnecting and neither was the original "problem" blade. So in total now three have disconnected.

I'm not sure what else I can do and I'm beginning to suspect the Amfeltec board but I don't know how I can prove it. For now I've sent an email to them explaining my situation so we'll see.

I know from supporting the OWC Accelsior there can be issues with blades.

Make sure you have the blades securely inserted, these things are communicating at very high speeds, so small amounts of RF noise can cause havoc.

Let us know!

Well, it's been over a week and I haven't received a response from Amfeltec support so it appears I'll be on my own trying to figure it out. I think my best bet is going to simply wait it out and hope there is a macOS update that may address it. I've changed pci-e slots and moved the blades to different m.2 slots as well with no difference.

I'll post if anything changes.

I doubt macOS will fix this.

Can you send me the system Profiler report on this card? I wonder if that will show the chipset used on the card.

Lets get some facts out, and be sure about this:
You had a drive disappear from the card. (several times)
they generally come back on line after a shutdown?

What is the exact model of the blades?
What is the exact model of the card?
Can you paste the information listed in "About this Mac", System Profiler, about this card?

Check the Western Digital forums, if anyone is complaining about disks disappearing temporarily, as is yours.

We are wondering if this is a chip issue. WD may be sourcing from the same wafer plant as OWC.

thanks!

Yes I have to reboot and then all is good.

What is the exact model of the blades?

WD_Black SN750 1TB NVMe Internal Gaming SSD - Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280, 3D NAND - WDS100T3X0C

What is the exact model of the card?

Squid Carrier Board™ Family
PCI Express Gen 3 Carrier Board for six M.2 or NGSFF (NF1) PCIe SSD modules

Can you paste the information listed in "About this Mac", System Profiler, about this card?

I tried to attach a log, txt and pdf but the forum wont let me so here is the text. If this is not the appropriate info let me know.
