Thanks Richard. Yes, I talked with Titan; they suggested trying the pcie-m.2 adapter. I will try them again. I have not checked for bios updates. Not sure how to go about that (last time I did that it required an msdos floppy disc).
Haven't tried the SSDs in another device because I don't have one. But the fact that replacing the SSD causes it to work, where it wasn't working before, tells me they were damaged. I have at least once power off/on the workstation, and the bios did not find any ssd to boot from. So power cycle didn't fix it, but replace ssd did fix it. I will try Titan again later today, but just looking for ideas.
