You've pushed NVMe storage to the edge of PCIe Gen4 and the signal's degrading — dropped links, retraining loops, the lot. A retimer adapter sits between your riser and the drives, cleans up the signal, and keeps all four lanes stable at full Gen4 speed. No swapping motherboards. No chasing a firmware patch that never comes. Slot it in, reconnect your NVMe modules, and the link errors stop. That's the whole fix
