Question Trouble Configuring 2nd M.2 NVMe SSD on Motherboard

[RyanTheSok]

I recently installed my second SSD, a 2 TB Samsung 990 Pro M.2 NVMe SSD, into my ASUS Prime X570 Pro mobo, however I am having trouble configuring it and specifically locating it in the Disk Management for Windows 10. It is installed into the M.2_1 slot, which is the CPU-related slot, and my 980 Pro, the other M.2 SSD which I am currently using and has the OS on it, is in the M.2_2 slot, which is the chipset-related slot. I also have a 2 TB Hard Drive installed, however it currently appears as though only the 980 Pro and the Hard Drive are visible in my file explorer, Disk Manager, and Device Manager. The 990 Pro only shows up in my BIOS and in the Storage Pool under "Physical Drives," which is showing that it is attached via NVMe. However, I do not know how to get it to show up in the Disk Manager so that I can allocate it to be configured as usable storage. Typically I would see a new Disk show up on the Disk Manager that needs to be allocated after installing a new storage device, however nothing new pops up when opening the Disk Manager. Pictures are attached for reference, with the last photo being technical specs for my motherboard from the ASUS website.

You have created 2way mirror volume (RAID 1) from 2TB HDD and 2TB NVME drives.

If you wish to use them separately, then you have to

move data from F: drive to some other drive (there seems to be ~8GB of data in there),​

remove page file from drive F: ,​

delete storage pool,​

repartition/ reformat drives without using storage spaces,​

copy data back.​

So you’re saying that a 2 TB storage pool was created combining my 2 TB Hard drive and 2 TB NVMe? Why is the total storage in F: then 2 TB and not 4 TB? Is that how 2-way mirror volumes work?
