[SOLVED] Samsung 970 EVO 500GB M.2

[clc0438]

I installed a new M.2 the other day and I'm wondering if I need to do anything further for my computer to recognize it as an M.2. I was testing the speeds of it and it is exactly the same as a regular SSD. Is there a setting I need to change in the bios?

Also after I installed it upon starting my computer after the bios select screen when that little bar is at the top left blinking. It now blinks in 2 different spots back and forth.

Thank you.

Check your BIOS and see if M.2 port is in SATA (PCIE x2) or NVME mode (PCIe x4)

some mainboards might require enabling of NVME ports in BIOS, which in turn might disable some SATA ports, typically.

Also check the Samsung website to make sure you have the latest driver.
