Question 970evo not being seen by laptop

[Navydude5.9]

I have an Asus zx50v laptop, on the back it has a sticker for m.2 2280 slot support sata ssd only, I put my 1tb Samsung 970evo In it and can’t seem to have it populate anywhere, bios, disk management etc. is this somehow not compatible?

Not compatible. The 970 Evo is a PCIe NVMe drive. You need a m.2 SATA drive. A 860 EVO should work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07864V6CK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_uyDECbFHDC3GZ

Agree with above - 970 Evo is NVMe - super fast PCI - not SATA
SATA M2 needed

A 970 EVO NVMe drive will not work.

Send it back and buy a m.2 SATA SSD. 860 EVO, for instance.
