M.2 not detecting

[jayman2005hw]

Hello every one, I have a slight problem with my Samsung 860 evo m.2 ssd that I just installed. My pc does not detect the m.2 ssd. I have tried reformatting the ssd, but it said there are no unallocated drives. I had no luck going into my bios, still not reading the m.2 ssd. Maybie its a hardware problem? Please help, Thank you-Jayden

First can you see the drive in BIOS?

What motherboard are you using?

What m2 slot did you plug in to?

Is it a SATA interface or PCIe?

No, I cannot see the drive in BIOS, and I am using an Aorus B450 Elite. I plugged the m.2 in the slightly shorter slot becuase the other slot was too long. It is a SATA format.

Whose drive is it ?

What are the dimensions of the drive ? 2280 or /22110 ?

And you put it in the shorter socket, that's M2B ?
