hi, thank you so much! I'm planning to upgrade my machine to 1TB Storage. This video is exactly what I'm looking for.

What you need to do is turn off ASPM for any drive which is causing issues in your Surface Pro. With that off it works perfectly and there are no crashes with any drive.

Thanks for the video. After i change my SSD to a 2TB SSD from WD Black SN770M the surface CPU is always overheating :( Even when i download games from Steam Store. CPU is running by 100%, its get very very hot and than crash... is it possible that the new SSD is overpowerd? The download rate is very fast and also the writing rate to ssd. And also after gaming its crash down after few minutes. Do you know what i can do? Thx

I'm wondering why Surface Pro 9 is running SSD on PCIe 3.0. According to specs both device and drive are PCIe 4.0 compatible. I wanted to upgrade my drive with WD SN770M SSD(which has 5150MB/s and 4900MB/s read/write speed). It seems pointless when Pro 9 is running SSD in a mode that is limited to 4GB/s(limit for PCIe 3.0 x4). Some YT tutorials for this upgrade include speed tests done after replacement and authors are dissapointed with results. I suspect it is rather a problem with PCIe 3.0 limit than the drive itself.

I have a timetec gen 3 1TB that outperforms this drive on crytaldiskmark. Rather have a gen 3 than have fingers crossed that the gen 4 drive doesn't suddenly start causing issues after a windows update.

That makes total sense, good on you for finding that drive.

Hi. What drive did you ultimately replace with and does it perform well without failure? Because I have the same issue with my Sabrent Rocket drive that I installed on my Surface 8 Pro. Also, you mentioned someone was able to fix the issue with a firmware upgrade… what do you mean by that?

Hi, the Kioxia BG4 SSD shown in the video performed flawlessly so I never changed after that. Used it for several months, but I now no longer have this machine. The firmware update thing was something people mentioned in Reddit threads - some of them had issues upgrading the drive, but after updating to a certain build (normally via windows Update) they were able to use it. I can't verify this as I never encountered any problems in the first place.

@@PhilKnall Just spoke with a friend that is very good with computers, he said that potentially upgrading BIOS (like you mentioned in the video)could solve the issue with little effort. If that doesn't work and the problem continues, he said to open the cover and check if the SSD becomes hot to the point where it is not comfortable to keep a finger on it (usually this happens above 50celcius). If that is the case, it is probably the reason why manufacturer has placed the original SSD into a heatsink case... And, ultimately, if the heat explanation is not relevant, than most likely, we are looking at a corrupt or low quality SSD - which are common on Amazon and EBAY nowadays. In which case purchasing a replacement from a certified retailer would be the best solution.
