Have (had?) 5 storage devices. 2 x M.2, 2 x SSD, 1 x HDD.

Booted the PC up today and only 1 x M.2 and 1 x HDD are showing in 'my pc'.

Check disk manager and same thing - however went to the properties tab and on both and under the Hardware tab I can see all of the drives. The 3 missing drives won't populate any volume information however.

All showing up in device manager. All showing up in BIOS.

Tried to create a new partition and cannot see them.

Weirdly all show up under the 'storage spaces' application and can be selected for the storage pool. I did have an error pop up last night stating storage pool was nearly full but dismissed it after checking and seeing most drives were lightly used (apart from the M.2 that remains).

Anyone got a clue?

Can you see them in diskpart from the command line?
 
Had similar with gigabyte x570 auros ultra
Lot of restarting and clearing cmos
They would eventually be OK
As long as you didn't restart the pc
Any restart ran the risk of it going wonky again
I gave up in the end and sold it as clearly faulty
Guy I sold it to I think used it for a server or something
As don't constantly restart those like a pc
