Can’t detect second m2 drive.

hey guys,

I decided to bite the bullet and build a total new system, all is well apart from one thing..

I have a 240gb m2 ssd which is recognised and windows installed on, but, my second m2 500gb drive I cannot get registering on Windows at all.

I have checked the bios and latest update, Windows management but to no avail.

My board is the b450-f gaming from ASUs.

Any help ASAP greatly appreciated guys, thanks.

I tried an SSD from my old build, and also a adapter for the m.2 that connects via the motherboard slot. And still not being detected, so it cannot be faulty if both are not being recognized?

Could it be the motherboard?

Going to phone ocuk tomorrow and see what’s what.

It’s a 2700x.

I tried a SATA and also an adaptor using a PCIe for the m2, still not working :confused:

Changed the motherboard and still had an issue, im sticking with standard 2.5" SSD's for now. Returning the m2.
