[SOLVED] MSI B150 and WD Black SN750 compatibility issue

[Trey_5]

I recently just purchased a WD Black SN750 and I'm trying to install it into my M.2 Slot on my MSI B150 M3 motherboard, I can not get it to detect in the bios. Everything I read says these should be compatible, maybe I'm wrong? I tried booting with it being the only storage device, still will not detect. I've updated my BIOS to the latest firmware, still will not detect. I know it's a working slot, I had previously had a working smaller GB size M.2 drive in this slot. I had purchased a Sandisk ultra NVME 3d previously and had the same issue, I just assumed I was unlucky and had DOA. Can someone help me out here?

The SN750 is an NVMe drive.

The motherboard only supports a SATA M.2 drive.

1 x M.2 slot
- Supports SATA 6Gb/s standards, 4.2cm/ 6cm/ 8cm length M.2 SSD cards


It will not work.

I cant believe this man, even pcpartpicker says they will work together. Guess it's time for new mobo.

I wouldn't upgrade the motherboard just to utilize that drive.

Wait until you're going to do a whole platform change.
