Your ST650 V3 is running hot and that M.2 drive isn't talking to the B540i-2i backplane. You don't need a generic cable that 'might' fit — you need the exact kit Lenovo engineered for this pairing. This is it. Plug it in, seat the connector, and your storage path is live again. No guesswork on pinout, no compatibility cross-referencing at 7am before a deadline. One kit, one connection, done
