Question m.2 ssd not showing up in bios

[Tayphillip]

I recently purchased an Adata M.2 nvme ssd and its not showing up in my bios.
The thing is i dont want that as a my primary boot option. I already have an sata ssd that is my boot drive.
The M.2 installed in M.2_1 which is the primary slot.
The M.2 shows up in windows and ive activated it as a storage device, I just want to make it so i can run it at pcie x4. Or is it just not possible if i dont activate it as primary boot device.

Your question is not clear. Is the Adata SSD showing up in the BIOS or not showing in the BIOS?

 

[Tayphillip]

No. It's showing up in windows but not bios.

No. It's showing up in windows but not bios.

If the drive shows up in Windows it has to be in the BIOS. Are you looking in the Advanced section of the BIOS?

Yes. In on board devices.

What about Advanced\SATA Configuration?

What's in that. I briefly checked in there but nothing seemed to be for the m.2

 

[rocktalkrock]

Your drive is not listed in "Advanced > HDD/SSD SMART Information"?

It says m.2 but does not have anything posted under it. But in my on board devices in my pcie16_3 control, there is something detected and I can run x4 but nothing is in that slot. When I click m.2_1 control it only gives me AUTO and SATA56. Which I already know to disable SATA56.

I don't think there is anything you need to do. The Adata M.2 SSD should run at PCIE 3.0 x4 speed. If you are worried it is not, run a speed test using the Adata SSD ToolBox.
