Samsung 970Pro M.2 SSD not showed in BIOS (But works!)

[ybauens]

Hey guys,


I wasn't sure where to post it, in the storage or mainborad section but i decided to put it here. If I'm wrong pleace move it!. As the name says I got some troubles with my M.2 SSD.
But firstly here my specs:

Case: Fractal Nano S
Mainboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-I Gaming
CPU: 8086k (delidded/liquid metal/copper IHS)
Cooling: Custom Loop
RAM: 32GB TridentZ 3.200 Mhz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 Gaming
PSU: Silverstone Strider 800W Platinum
SSD M.2: 512GB Samsung 970 Pro Evo M.2 2280 NVMe
SSD 2,5": 256GB Intel 545S
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 4TB 7200 RPM
OS: Windows 10 Pro
BIOS VERSION: 1002 (latest)
For further information: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/wvvnTW

Before I got the 970 Pro M.2 two days ago I had the 960 M.2. I’ve had the same problem with both:

I installed the SSD in the M.2_1(SOCKET3) on the front side.

The SSD was recognized during the installation and also afterwards when the system was set up properly.
In the BIOS the SSD shows up in the “Boot Briority” (1. Windows Boot Manager Samsung 970 Pro)
So far everything is fine. But it just bugs me that the SSD is not listed under storages. Not on the main page, EZ mode (M.2 = N/A) neither under Storage configuration (Empty)
The BIOS is set up properly, AHCI enabled, CMS enabled and Hyper M.2X16 disabled.

Does anybody has an idea what could cause this problem and how to solve it?


Finaly, i want to mention that english isn't my nativ language so please apologize if the text contains some grammatically mistakes

Complain to the board manufacturer. Just because it bugs you, that's the problem you have.
It works, so don't complain about it.
I think you are person who can't be satisfied. 13 seconds is fast - what do you want?

Firstly. thank you for this psychoanalysis, I thought this forum is about hardware.
But the M.2 SSD not listed as it should. So there is a issue, isn't it? Furthermore, I never said 13 seconds would be "slow".

Thank you for your helping and constructive post!

Cheers.

You stated - the 13 seconds should be faster - that isn't going to happen
You said the SSD works fine, no problems, but you can't see it in the bios - so thefore it is probably a bug with the board manufacturers bios, unless you are looking in the wrong place.
I am not sure what answer you are really trying to find.

I said it's not as good as i thoght. So maybe I'm wrong, maybe you are right.
But the main point of this thread is the fact that the M.2 SSD is not detected / not listed in the BIOS at any time, at any BIOS version.
And this is the question I would like to find an answer for. Why It is like this.

And the ASUS Support assured me, that this is no common issue with this board or this BIOS version.

well then about boot time:

also 13 sec might be long post on mobo. Update it asap, check for static logo or skip settings in bios and return with results.
I did not have my way with b450 YET so I don't know all the magic inside. Have you tried storemi with some ramdisc ? might be fun.

 

[ybauens]

Thank you for this advices! I already did the things you mentioned!

And I also edited the main Post because it's actually not about the booting time. But still, thank you
