Can anyone help with SX8200 Pro M.2 installation?

[TheZak]

Hi,

Bottom line to the problem is that I've installed a XPG SX8200 Pro on my Asus Strix b250f Motherboard, it detects the M.2 SSD in the BIOS but is not accessible under My PC. After installing I went into the BIOS to configure the settings to allow the M.2 slot to be used. In the image I found where the setting would be I could not find the correct setting to enable the M.2 slot.

The M.2 SSD is being detected in the BIOS but I cannot find it under the usual location under This PC. I'm currently running Windows 10. I've searched everywhere for a solution but most problems occur that the M.2 SSD doesn't appear in the BIOS which mine does.

any ideas?

It will need to be partitioned and formatted. Use disk management in Windows to achieve this.

Can you see the SSD on disk manager?

Can you see the SSD on disk manager?

@TheZak then do as what @Journey mentioned and format it...then the drive will be usable (which it seems you have just done?)

@tamzzy Yeah I did that but its still not usable
