M.2 NVMe SSDs in the 2023 Mac Pro. Use a Sonnet M.2 4x4 PCIe card

Anyone using the newest Sonnect M.2 NVMe SSD with an Apple Pro? How big a drive? Using it as 4 separate SSDs or in an array?

Thanks.

Mac Pro, macOS 10.13

This is an ongoing issue seen by many with any nvme storage in pcie slots on Mac Pros 2019 and 2023 (7,1 and 8,1). It happens on direct passthrough cards sometimes but nearly always if there is a apple raid set built or a pcie card using a controller to support multiple nvme drives is used. On my 2019, I can restore the volume by shutting down, performing an SMC reset, booting into recovery, running First Aid in disk utility on the nvme raid set, and then rebooting. This works but sometimes I have to do it twice.

There have been multiple posts about this issue but Apple seems to be ignoring it.
