This may be a bizarre one!
I have a Samsung 840 Sata SSD (not my operating drive) that doesn't show up in Bios or Windows. If it is plugged in when I try to boot my computer then my computer won't boot, gets stuck at a spinning logo right after the splash screen where you can go into bios. If I plug it in hot (once windows is already booted) my computer beeps and says it's a usb drive but it still doesn't show up for me to access it. I have tried replacing the SATA cable and tried different ports. I looked on my motherboard website for SATA Drivers but all they show are AMD RAID drivers.... I'm at a loss and confused! I've included my computer details below if it is needed. Please, any help is appreciated as I keep a lot of work documents on it!!!!!
AMD Ryzen 5 3600x
Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite Wifi with the latest bios
Samsung 970 Evo 500gb (operating drive)
Crucial P1 1 TB (Game Library)
Samsung 840 Sata SSD (The drive that isn't showing up)
32 GB (4x8) G.Skill Trident Z 3200
MSI 1070 Graphics Card (I know it's old, waiting until the new ones come out)
NZXT Kraken M22 (for CPU)
