Question Asus Z87-A does not see Crucial MX500 1TB SSD

[piotr.orlowski.666]

Hi, I hope someone here can help. I searched everywhere but I haven't found a solution to my problem. I have Asus Z87-A with Bios 2103 which I think is the latest version available.

I bought Crucial MX500 1TB SSD to install system on it but I cannot get Bios to see the SSD. When I go to SATA Information it show the SATA slot as empty. The drive is connected using Sata power cable and Sata data cable (no Molex involved). Everything boots up without any issues, warnings when SSD is connected but it is not visible in Bios.

I tried setting SATA config in Bios to IDE, AHCI, switch off Fast Boot etc. Does not help. I have honestly no idea how to get the Bios to see it. I have been searching for a solution for a few days. I also changed the cables just to make eliminate this as a root cause.
