[SOLVED] Ssd Not detected

[Scaryjerry24]

I tried installing windows on my ssd but it didn’t show up, I try finding it in bios too and it didn’t show up. I just got all these parts new. I’m assuming my motherboard can’t detect the ssd because it’s not compatible. If the parts are not compatible can you guys recommend some good memory to put my windows 10 in to boot up quick.

SSD- Crucial MX500 500GB 3D NAND SATA M.2 (2280SS) Internal SSD, up to 560 MB/s - CT500MX500SSD4

Mother board- ASRock B550M PRO4 AM4 AMD B550 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

^^^^^ This
M2 drives can be Sata or NVME but not all slots support both types which is why you can only use slot2.
