[SOLVED] WD Blue NVME drive 500gb not being recognizied at all?

[The_BlackHusky]

Hi,

so to put this all into context I recently (Less than a week old) brought an entire gaming system excluding the graphics card because I already own one.

Inside this system is;

• CPU - Ryzen 5 3600
• MOBO - TUF B450-PRO Gaming Motherboard
• RAM - Corsair Vengence Pro 8x16GB DDR4 3200MHz
• AIO - Corsair H100i Platinum
• STORAGE - Corsair MP510 240gb (Boot Drive)
• STORAGE - WD Blue 3D NAND SATA SSD M.2 2280 500gb (This drive is not being recognized at all)
• PSU - 650W EVGA SuperNova G3 80+
• CASE - H500 NZXT White

After removing the Nvme drive and reinstalling it nothing shows up...
Looking through device Manager > 'Other Devices' > I get two PCI Device Unknown, yet cannot install drivers for them.
then looking at device Manager > 'Disk Drives' > 'Force MP510', is my only option.

I have tried disabling CSM in bios but then cannot boot from the MP510 boot drive.

Anything I have missed?
Anything In bios may help?
Have I overlooked anything?
Or is the drive dead and I need to request a replacement?

Regards,
Anthony

P.s sorry for the large amount of information but I feel like its needed...

"After removing the Nvme drive and reinstalling it"
Why removing and reinstalling? Same m.2 slot, or the other one?

Okay, now I just realised placing it in the same slot changes nothing at all.

But the other m.2 slot is occupied, so unless I swap what else am I to do?

One port supports both SATA and PCIe drives.
The other supports only PCIe.

Your WD Blue is a SATA M.2 drive.
Which port do you have the drives in?

You have to swap them.

Ah okay, I didnt even know to look for that information when putting it all together. Currently, The WD Blue is in slot 2 on the board. While the Corsair mp510 is in slot 1. When I get time I will swap them later today. Thank you.
