[SOLVED] M.2 SSD not showing up in BIOS / windows

[tomkendall]

SSD is https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073SBX6TY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and Motherboard is https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-A...words=a320m&qid=1579196787&s=computers&sr=1-2 .

Any options I need to check in the BIOS?

I had a similar problem once.
Just try plugging your SATA drives cables (SATA HDDs, HDDs, ODDs) into other SATA ports (not the first one, SATA6G_1) on your motherboard.

According to the manual there should be no conflicts and the M.2 port's SATA controller should be enabled by default (pg. 31) but you can check anyway.

M2 support varies with the CPU so which one do you have in that board?

1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe x4/x2* SSD support)

• Actual support may vary by CPU.
• Supports only M.2 SATA SSDs when using an AMD Athlon™-series/ 7th Gen. A-series or Athlon™ X4 APU.
