[SOLVED] Pcie nvme expansion card issue

[Yan LLawrue]

So i am using a Asus 350f motherboard
My main drive is a Samsung 1tb nvme in the m2 slot
Now my issue is that i bought a orico pcie nvme expansion card and i have put on it a m2 Western digital blue 500gb and i have installed it and can't figure what's the problem and why the computer won't detect the drive
The expansion card is well places in the pcie slot
Please note my adapter says nvme and that Western digital is a sata m2
I have checked the disk management thing and it doesn't work
Please not I have another ssd drive hooked just like a regular drive and this one wasn't an issue

A SATA drive like your WD will NOT work in a NVMe adapter.
Being M.2 is irrelevant. SATA is SATA and NVMe is NVMe.

"Please note my adapter says nvme and that Western digital is a sata m2 " and that's your problem. That adapter doesn't support sata drives.

Try putting your nvme drive in the adapter and the sata drive in the motherboards m.2 slot as it supports sata.

Thanks yeah the guy at the store was saying it would fit ....
I think switching them will work , can my computer boot from the pcie ?

Probably.

Try it and see what happens.
If it works, great. If it fails...
