So I recently built my son a system:
Case: NZXT H510
MOBO: MSI mag b550 tomahawk
Cpu: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
SSD: WD_BLACK SN770 NVMe gen4 1tb
Cooler: cooler master hyper212 rgb black edition
GPU: power color hellhound amd Radeon Rx 6700XT
HDD: western digital 4tb SATA
And so far everything is running ok after numerous updates, installs and restarts, all except the 4tb HDD. I can see it in the BIOS, but it's 0/0 for space and says "disabled" in the far right column. AHCI is enabled vs RAID. And there are 2 drives showing up in device manager, but no driver update is found for either, though the NVMe one is working fine anyway. I've read other things about this configuration of storage drives not working on B550 mobos, but can that really be true, or is there a way to make it work? Any insight would be greatly appreciated, I have 1 more system to build for my other son (slightly different components including motherboard) but the storage drives are exactly the same and hope to figure this one out before we start build #2.
Sorry for the lengthy post. Any advice and support is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
