I have the Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Elite AC motherboard and am having issues getting a second M2 NVMe drive to be recognized.
My current configuration is:
CPU: Intel i7-10700k
M2M_SB slot socketed with Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TB
M2A_SB slot socketed with Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB
SATA: Samsung EVO 860 1TB connected to SATA 0 slot which shouldn’t conflict with either of the above M2 drives.
PCIE X16 socketed with Gigabyte Aorus 2080 GTX graphics card.
I just updated the motherboard bios to the latest version and the M2A_SB drive is still not being recognized in the BIOS.
I’ve tried disconnecting the SATA SSD and the M2A_SB drive still isn’t recognized then.
Is there a BIOS setting I need to enable that I’m missing? Or is my understanding of how the PCIE lanes, M2 sockets and SATA drive interaction incorrect?
I’ve been referencing the documentation here: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manual_z490-aorus-elite-ac_1001_e.pdf
and verified that my motherboard is revision 1.0
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
