Works as expected, please note compatibility issues.

Connected this to a Micron 9100 SSD It works great with my desktop PC. Just plug in and get started. However, when I tried to install it on my server PC. Dell T420, no luck for me. The PC reported a hardware error. I then tried an alternative solution with a different card that uses a cable to connect to the drive, with the added benefit of a dedicated power supply. However, this approach didn't work either, the server gave the same error. It looks like some computers have a hardware compatibility issue with the drive itself and not the adapter. It would be nice to know how to troubleshoot or fix this problem.
