The drives and drive slots and drive racks glitching out are all a relatively rare but persistent annoying issue that has been present for a few versions now, very inconsistent and hard to pin down what causes it as it seems to change a bit every update as well, unrelated to your edible drive. In 0.6.3 drives in the entire game would break; ordering new drives, restarting, new saves, sandbox, tutorial... didn't matter. They would only randomly start working again after a while of playing and waiting. Now it seems to be more common and caused by having multiple drives near a drive slot at a time (or cluttered around the computers in general), but picking up the offending drives (into your inventory/a box, removing them as props from the world in general) *seems* to fix it but drive racks are still janky and a normal storage box is more reliable
