Bios fails to detect M.2 SATA SSD device
Port seems targeted for PCIe3/4 rather than SATA. PCIe3 offers greater speed compared to SATA, which is capped at 550-560 Mbps versus PCIe3/4's 1800-3500+ Mbps. The WD Blue SN570 provides solid value, with options ranging from quicker to more affordable. While lower-end models exist, they sacrifice performance and reliability, especially noticeable near the 3400 Mbps mark of the SN570. Beyond that, you're getting minimal gains while facing higher temperatures and potential buyer regret if performance isn't met.
It seems unclear how the device could handle both functions simultaneously. I’m not an expert, but I haven’t seen anything like it before. It’s unlikely the board will change modes automatically; you may need to adjust BIOS settings to enable port mode switching.
It's typical for slots to accommodate both types. Many motherboards include a single slot that works either way. However, verify the BIOS settings to confirm SATA support is enabled.
