Question Second NVMe SSD is not detected in the BIOS ?

[darkbaronvt123]

Hello, my 1st thread in here.
I have an Asus B660M Gaming Plus Wifi D4, a Samsung EVO 970 installed in the M.2_1 slot (with Windows on it) and it's working fine, my second SSD is a Kingston SNV2S/500GB installed in the M.2_2 slot on the motherboard (I used it mainly for storing games).

The second SSD is now not detected in BIOS. I have tried to restore default in BIOS setting and while it did recognize the SSD but only a few hours later the SSD is not detected again.

Does anyone have a clue and how to fix it? Thank you very much.

Try swapping the drives over in the m.2 slots, then check bios and boot, then check disk management for system recognized drives

I've tried that, didn't work. When the SSD is suddenly not detected anymore it shown this in Event Viewer.

I believe some windows update broke it so I'll just wipe the window and reinstall it

Crystal disk looks ok.

Make sure, sata controller is set to AHCI mode (not Intel RST with Optane).
Make sure Intel RST is disabled.

there's no SATA controller mode in the BIOS, only Enable or Disable the SATA Controller. Even when Enabled, I can't find the SATA Controller mode

In simple BIOS mode - there's a toggle switch to enable/disable Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Set to disabled.
In Advanced mode - Advanced/System Agent Configuration/VMD setup menu/Disable VMD controller.

After doing this I ran into Inaccessible Boot Device so what do I do? Have to re-enable the IRST to be able to boot into Windows

Try to boot into safe mode.
