Grab your contact cleaner and clean their SATA connectors!
I just bought a new 1TB Crucial MX500 made in god knows what year and installed it in a virgin SATA port of a M710q made in 2016 and I got the vomit you see above every time I loaded the drive. Reseated all the connectors. More vomit. Scratched my head a couple of times reaching for the trash bin and I had a brainwave that there might be oxidation from sitting naked with the elements. Took out the DeoxIt Gold, dabbed all the connectors on the SATA path, cycled them a few times, powered on and loaded the drive. No more vomit.
Welcome to .. everyone's world who's bothered to learn how the system works. Many don't get this far. It's a bit hard to accept at first but it's what we have to work with. That's why it's important to understand all the different opportunities to affect change. For example keeping track of different parties' leadership elections and voting in those. Or pestering your MP for what you want to see happen, like some folks here pester them for electoral reform. The same goes with provincial parties and elections. And municipal elections. And getting involved in any of those campaigns. And so on.
