[SOLVED] System seems to be recognising only one M.2 SSD ?

[Daniel_Daniel]

Hi All

I've just got a new build together (short version, Quiet Base 802, i5-12400, TUF RTX 3080, Seasonic PX-850, a Mag B660 Tomahawk, and a Noctua NH-D15S) .

I installed 2 x Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 SSDs.

When I look at Windows Explorer, I can only see one drive installed, although I can see two SSDs when I click on drive properties:

Likewise, I can see two SSDs in device manager:

The total storage of C: is 2 TB, so I feel like something is missing.

From the performance tab in task manager, it looks like one of the drives (Drive 1) isn't formatted:

I'm hoping I don't need to go poking around in the Motherboard, as the Graphics Card and CPU/ Cooler look like they would need to come out to get things fixed.

Is there a way of getting the second SSD online without accidentally re-formatting the first?

Regards

Daniel

Edit: rookie at using imgur links - there's forum only seems to show half each picture ?

Did you migrate an SSD with the OS already on it?

What do you see when you enter Disk Manager? As for the platform, did you manually install all necessary drivers for your motherboard/platform in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?

Thanks @Lutfij your comment was enough to get me looking in the right place.

Drive now initialized and looks all good!

Thanks
