If that NVMe was recycled it may be a good idea to "clean" it first by overwriting the start of the disk and the end of the disk with zeroes using dd. Cleaning the first 64 and and last 64 blocks this way should be good enough. We made some improvements recently that may make this uncessary, so trying to install a current snapshot may help as well.
