[SOLVED] Disk won't show

[Chrixy]

Hello,

So I just installed a new SSD on my Motherboard and I saw this message in pcpartpicker:

• The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with a SATA Express port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA Express port is disabled.

Is there a way to enable this one or make it show on my computer? I couldn't see it in Disk Management either because of this.

I have this:

• SSD1: Samsung EVO 500GB (This is where I installed Windows, so this shows)
• SSD2: Western Digital Black 3D NAND (The new SSD i just installed on my motherboard)
• HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3-5'' (This won't show anymore)

Thanks!

Regards
Doxrikser

Western Digital Black 3D NAND is m.2 NVMe PCIe type. doesn't use sata express
check your hdd cable, might just be came loose

I just checked my cables, and they are connected good as they should, not loose.. I just scanned after I checked to see if I could see it now, but I still cant see it.. :/

exact model of the motherboard?
check device manager?
windows 10? check storage space? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12438/windows-10-storage-spaces

My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI, Socket-1150.
This is the exact one which I bought here from Norway 4 years ago: https://www.komplett.no/product/815870 (I hope you can read or translate whatever that is there ).

Yes, I have checked device manager, disk manager and in the BIOS.
When I saw in the BIOS, it found the disk and it said "Disabled".. So the disk is disabled Is there a way to enable it?

which one is disable?

"(M.2, SATA Express, and SATA3 4/5 connectors can only be used one at a time. The SATA3 4/5 connectors will become unavailable when an M.2 SSD is installed.)"
for the HDD use another connectors.

The HDD is disabled. This happened right after I installed the new M.2 SSD. So yeah.. What other connection can I use to connect it then?
The SSD and HDD is connected the same way, and the SSD works fine, but the HDD don't. :/

I changed the SATA port on my Motherboard, and it fixed this problem. I can now see my HDD.
