Title should have been reworded. Sorry the title sounded too much like tech support help not a valuable information post

I have 2 of these drive and I noticed some oddity with it. If they are connected to my motherboard's SATA ports, they stop working after sleep. They still spin up but any attempt to access the drive gets "can't find file at specified location" error.

Asus Prime x570 Pro. I've tried updating SATA driver, changing ports to AHCI, hot swap, etc and simply nothing will work after I sleep the PC. Using Windows 11, up to date

But when I moved the drives to Dell H310 (cross flashed to LSI IT firmware), it always worked fine after sleep. I tried to ue Google and got a few results on MG drives, they seem to not like Asus SATA ports for some reason.

Just passing info if anyone else had issues with MG drives (or any other drives) with Asus motherboard, and you have trouble accessing them after sleeping, get a HBA and use that instead of onboard SATA.
