M.2 SSD Not Recognised In Bios

[gonesy]

Hi All

I have just built a new PC with a Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming Motherboard and am trying to install a 1TB WD BLUE m2 ssd with a M.2 2280 SSD form factor. I have looked in the Bios and all I see is a message saying "No PCIe SATA Controllers/PCIe SSDs are Present"

Any advice greatly received

Check the SATA/ACHI and swap the about in bios, maybe make a difference

Hi,
Try testing the other M.2 slot.

What is the Make and Model of your M.2 device?

There are 3 m.2 ports on that motherboard.

2 will take a PCIe OR SATA m.2 drive.
The other only accepts a PCIe type drive.

The drive you have is SATA m.2.

Which specific port do you have it connected to?
