Asus Z97-P + Corsair Force Le Mp500 240GB = Very bad day.

[LeeCuz]

So recently my SSD died, so me being me thought i'd purchase one of these M.2 formfactor SSD's I've heard so much about.

Bit of googling and my board supported it so I jumped forward and ordered one. Perfect.

THe problem I am having is I cannot get my motherboard to enable the M.2 Slot that has been sitting there looking pretty for so long. I have been through every menu of the BIOS atleast a hundred times to no avail.

My board is an Asus Z97-P. - Here
The M.2 Card is a Corsair Force Le MP500 (240GB) Here

I have watched every youtube video I can find and been through a large section of googles non helpfulness.

Willing to give massive love hugs and appreciation cuddles to anyone that can assist.

Thanks in advance.

According to your Motherbd manual on pg 1-21 your motherbd needs to be in raid mode to use the m.2 slot.
