Hi everyone,

So this is maybe an odd scenario, as it always seems to be with me, but I bought a second SSD, making this the 4th drive in my computer in total (I have a m.2 SSD for windows, regular HDD for larger storage, an SSD for games/storage and now a new second SSD for games/storage.)

The second, new SSD is not detected neither in explorer or disk management in anyway. I ran a test where I unplugged all my drives (aside from the m.2 with windows) and plugged in the new SSD and disk management picked it up and I was able to format it, etc.

I then plugged in all the drives at once after restarting and once again the ssd was no longer being detected even after being formated and made into a volume.

Haven't found anything that has helped via google.

Hope someone can help, cheers.
