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.

Uh they’re played in gold and the geek squad guy specifically said they never need washing
Dumb question but what do you mean you cycled them a few times?
Plugged/unplugged.
Well there’s your problem. You’ve got to plug it back in!
