Phoenix Blade PCIe SSD User Manual 

Troubleshooting & FAQ 

 

1.

My system can’t detect the 

PCIe SSD! 

 
> Does the Windows hardware manager detect an unknown 

storage device? If yes, please install PCIe SSD driver from the 
driver disc. If no, please make sure PCIe SSD is firmly installed 
in a functioning PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 x8 slot. 

 

2.

The PCIe SSD is slow! 
 

> Please make sure that the PCIe SSD is installed in a PCIe 2.0 x8 

slot. If the Phoenix Blade PCIe SSD is installed in a PCIe 1.0 x8 
or a PCIe 2.0/3.0 x4 slot, then the SSD will not able to perform 
at its fullest potential. 

 

3.

I cloned my system drive to the Phoenix Blade PCIe SSD, and now 

the system won’t detect the 

PCIe SSD or boot from the PCIe SSD! 

 
> Please install the PCIe SSD driver on the source system drive prior 

to cloning the drives to the Phoenix Blade PCIe SSD. By doing 
so, the clone system drive will have the required driver to boot 
as system drive.
