Answer: Connect the device to other SATA connector.
Question: M.2 disc is not viewable in the system.
Answer: Please sure that M.2 has been formatted.
Question: The case cover is heated up during operation.
Answer: Heating up of the cover, mainly during intensive recording, is
a usual feature and doesn't mean a defect. The cover cools down the inside
electronics of the case and M.2 disc. We recommend ensuring an access for
air into the case and don't cover it unnecessarily by other things.

Reply: The case is only designed for the SSD based (NGFF) disks. It is not
possible to use PCIe based (NVMe) disks. They use different sockets and
technologies.
