My system doesn't detect third storage device.

[Hashio]

My current system has two SSD install to it. I am trying to install a third, but my system didn't seem to detect it. Is there something I am doing wrong? I connected it with the right cables. Or must I need to enable something in bios?

does it see it in bios? did you partition and format it?

If the bios can see it and windows doesnt you need to format it in disk management. Before you can use it

The bios does not see it.

Nah, the bio doesn't see it. I check disk management in windows same thing.

What's the mobo?? Are these SSD's or M.2 SSD's??

Check in BIOS if sata port, you're connecting your new SSD, is not disabled.
Do you know motherboard model name?

ASUS Gryphon Z87 intel Z87 chipset motherboard, ill give it a double check to see if it is disable in bios.

ASUS Gryphon Z87 intel Z87 chipset motherboard, they are SSDs, not the M.2 SSDs. Off topic could you use a M.2 SSD on a desktop?

You can use a M.2 if the mobo has a M.2 slot. If the BIOS supports NVME you maybe or should be able to use that

This mobo has one but since there's only 4 sata ports, if I decided to install a M.2 ssd, it'll disable 2 of my sata ports

Altho there's not much in it anyway, there's only 1 250 GB ssd and a dvd writer.

I dont know why I've got the dvd, I've never really used it since I installed it lol

So for some reason my motherboard had it disable, I enable it and it is detecting it now, I should consider looking into M.2 SSD. Takes up less space.

You'll have to replace the mobo. Since I dont think the one you have now supports it or NVME
