Question M.2 is not found on system

[thickpickle]

I just installed a new M.2 storage card on my computer. It appears in my device manager and in my bios, however, it doesnt show up in "my pc" as one of my storage devices. I have tried to go to the bios and set it to UEFI only. I have added it to my launch priorities. I don't know what else to do.
Specs: ryzen 5 1600x, asroc taichi x370 (p3.20), intel 600p m.2 1TB, samsung evo 850 500gb SSD, gskill RAM, gtx 1070.

Does it appear in Disk Management?
It may just need to be Initialized and formatted.

It does not appear in disk manager. But it does show up in disk drives for my device manager

Yes I'm using windows 10. I found the drive in storage spaces, but I dont know what this is. As far as I'm seeing it turns my drive into a backup? I dont want it as a backup, but rather as an additonal storage device.

Can you show screenshot from Storage Spaces?
You'd have to remove M.2 drive from Storage Spaces pool.
If you don't use Storage Spaces, then you can also delete the pool.

Here is a link to what my storage spaces looks like. I didnt set this up, but now it seems as if it is set up. So I went ahead and deleted it after giving you this picture.

Immediate feedback. You were right! Taking it out of storage spaces immediately caused it to show up in disk manager, then it only needed to be formatted. Thanks!! And thanks rgd1101 for mentioning storage spaces and getting us on the right track!!!
