Hey Folks, posting here as I feel I've exhausted all of my other options. I just bought an MX500 1tbSSD specifically because I had seen it was listed as compatible with my TUF 450MPlus Motherboard , I'm not very tech savvy so I specifically ordered this after checking compatibility on pcpartspicker.
The issue I'm now facing is that the drive doesn't show up in disk management, explorer or any command prompt tools - it does show on device management, storage management and my BIOS but I can't seem to do anything other than confirm that it's connected. I've reseated it in every SATA port, tried multiple cables but no changes positive or negative.
I figured I'd put together a gallery of screenshots in case I explained any of this poorly, I've been trying to fix this for 5 hours now and my brain is cabbage. Link to gallery
