Hi all, having some strange behaviour on my new build.
Initially, I installed win 10 on m.2 drive 1, and I have a 2nd m.2 drive for storage. All working fine. I then proceed to install my old SSD boot drive (still with win 10 boot sector on it) and an HDD into SATA ports 1 & 3. Everything boots up fine.
Now on next boot, the m.2 drives are no longer recognised, and the computer boots from the SSD. Neither of the m.2 drives show in the BIOS or in windows disk management.
I disconnect the SSD and HDD, and the m.2 drives are still not detected. I clear the CMOS using the jumper, and now the m.2. drives are detected.
I reconnect the HDD with the sata cable, and the m.2 drives disappear again. I remove the HDD and try clearing the CMOS with the jumper, but no luck. I remove the CMOS battery, replace it and now the m.2 drives are working again.
Not sure where to go from here, I am currently using a Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra, and the manual only says that SATAs 4 and 5 are disabled when an m.2 drive is installed in M2C. My m.2 drives are in M2A and M2B so according to the manual this shouldn't be an issue.
What is strange is that I experienced exactly the same behaviour on an X570 Tomahawk, but because both m.2 drives were initially working, and then not not detected both at the same time I had assumed it was a problem with the board.
It seems to be running ok now I have left my old drives disconnected, but ideally I would like to get these both working.
The MOBO has ATX_12V (8 pin) and ATX_12V1 (4pin) connectors, I'm only using the 8 pin. Not sure if this would make a difference given that once the m.2 drives have disappeared, removing the SATA drives does not bring them back.
Setup as follows:
CPU: 5600x
MB: X570 Aorus ultra rev 1.1
RAM: G.Skill Trident 32GB
M.2: 2x Netac 2TB N950E Pro (PCIe)
SSD: Kingston 240GB (SATA)
HDD: WD 2TB 7200 RPM (SATA)
PSU Seasonic Focus GX-750
If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them!

Updated M.2 model number to include "N" at the beginning
Updated storage interfaces
