Question SATA DVDRW not detected with new x870 motherboard

Recently finished upgrading my system with a MSI MAG x870 Tomahawk Wifi + 9800X3D + 32GB DDR6000. The only issue I'm having is my DVD drive isn't recognized in the BIOS. It was working perfectly on the previous MSI B550-A PRO motherboard. The DVD player is an Asus DRW-24F1ST/BLK/B/GEN that I bought in 2018.

I verified it's getting power, tried 2 different SATA cables, tried 3 different SATA ports. I'm running the latest BIOS from MSI's website which is 7E51v1A1A posted on November 21st. They have 3 different BIOS versions on their site, all beta.

Great job finding an unorthodox solution to this.

Thanks but this is a situation where the computer magically fixed itself! I'm leaving the card in so if the DVD drive ever disappears again, I'll be able to quickly connect it to the card.
