For context, I've had for the longest time just an hdd and a sata ssd. Recently i got a 120gb m.2 ssd and after I install it the bios stops detecting the sata ssd.
Deconnecting the m.2 fixes the problem, but I'd still like to use both.
Motherboard is a b450 tomahawk if it helps.

Move your SATA drive (SSD) to a different port

"SATA5 and SATA6 ports will be unavailable when installing a M.2 device in M.2 slot."
