[SOLVED] Asus TUF B450-M Pro doesn't recognize Crucial MX500 M.2 SSD

[pbalin]

I have just got a PC with Asus TUF B450-M Plus and Crucial MX500 M.2 SSD in it.

It doesn't see the SSD in bios.

As motherboard the spec says, it supports PCI-E and SATA M.2 storages. But, there is no setting in bios for SATA/PCI-E mode for M.2 also.

Do you have any ideas on why this happens?

Boot with only the m2 drive installed and see if the windows installer recognizes the drive

Thanks for the answer.
There are no other drives installed, m2 only.
Windows installer doesn't recognize the drive. Drive list is empty during Windows installation.

I've made several tries with solutions from other threads (enable/disable CSM, Security Boot), but they didn't help.

Have you tried updating the BIOS itself?

What CPU do you have, and which M.2 slot is the SSD installed in?

 

[pbalin]

Yes, BIOS is up-to-date - version 0604. It was already installed, so I didn't have to update it

CPU - Rysen 5 2600.
M.2 slot - there is only one M.2 slot on the motherboard

Is this not your motherboard? https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-B450M-PRO-GAMING/specifications/

Also, what version of Windows are you trying to install?

Sorry for misleading, I have tuf b450-m Plus, not Pro. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-B450M-PLUS-GAMING/
I'm trying to install Windows 10 Pro.

Try resetting the bios
