Braintrust,
I have a BTO Z2 Mini G9 with a Thunderbolt port (Flex I/O option). I can connect a 4TB Thunderbolt Envoy Pro drive without issue. However, I have a new OWC Thunderbolt 4M2 w/4 4TB HP M.2 SSDs that once I connect to the same Thunderbolt Flex I/O port, it causes an immediate Blue Screen of Death.
After experiencing the above, I did some additional troubleshooting. The OWC 4M2 is a Thunderbolt 3 chassis (came empty) and I installed 4 4TB HP FX900 M.2 SSDs in it (would be eventually raided at 0). I removed all of the SSDs and connected the chassis to the Z2 Mini G9 and the system did not crash and the chassis was recognized in Thunderbolt Control Center. I installed one 4TB SSD and once again connected and it was seen and recognized (single 4TB drive). I installed a second SSD and it caused another Blue Screen of Death.
It seems that more than one M.2 SSD causes the system to crash, but no idea why.
When I connect it to an iMac Pro running Windows 10 via Bootcamp, the devices is seen as are the 4 HP M.2 SSDs (not yet setup as a RAID).
My Z2 Mini G9 has the latest BIOS and Thunderbolt firmware/drivers.
Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
