Error: The attempt to mount a file system with type ext4 [...] at / failed while installing debian server


Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I recently assembled a new PC (see below) and I wanted to use it as a server, so I decided to install a server version of debian (=> amd64).
When I try to install it, it shows an issue with missing drivers, but I don't know if this has something to do with the main problem. I also tried to put the CD with the drivers in (the one from the motherboard box), but nothing changed.
However, the main problem is another. In fact, when I select the partitions' configuration and I confirm, I always end up with the same error: The attempt to mount a file system with type ext4 in SCSI11 (0,0,0), partition #1 (sdh) at / failed.
What I would like to do is set a RAID0 for the 2 pairs of HDDs (4 in total) and install the OS on my M.2 SSD (see below). I'm able to install the OS on one of the for HDDs, but not on the SSD, I always end up with the same error. Here are some things I've tried:
  • Boot directly, without UEFI
  • Leave the 4 HDDs with freespace, not RAID0
  • Select the option "yes, format it"
  • Select all the mount option (for example "noatime")
I'm not sure whether my SSD is corrupted, or something else is wrong. I just would like to know it before I buy a new one.

----- Here's my setup -----
motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC (AM4, AMD B450, ATX)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 / 3.4 GHz Prozessor (is not 3.9 GHz, as they say)
SSD: Kingston A400 (120GB, M.2 2280)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX (2x, 8GB, DDR4-3000, DIMM 288)
HDDs: 2x WD Red 2x 4TB Set (8TB, 3.5")
Graphic card: XFX RX 570 RS XXX Edition (8GB)

I've some experience in Linux world, but I'm a newbie in the hardware world. And sorry if my English is not perfect

Thank you in advance!!
