My 2nd M.2 Inland Premium 1TB SSD is not showing up in bios or windows. I have a MSI Meg X570 Ace.
I have tried updating Bios, and reseating the m.2.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Solution
They share PCIxe slots with the GPU. How many M.2 slots do you have? If you have two try the other one and you should boot up just fine.

You might exceed your lane limit though.

I have a main m.2 in the first m.2 slot that has windows installed.
I just switched the m.2 from the 3rd slot to the second slot but it still doesn't show up.

I just took my main m.2 ssd off and replaced it with the inland m.2 and nothing was showing.
I then put my main windows m.2 in the 2nd slot and it did show but not the inland m.2
I think that the inland m.2 might not be faulty.

Thanks for all the help everyone. The problem ended up being a bad m.2 ssd. I went to Micro Center and exchanged it. The new one shows up and is working.
