I just completed my new setup and managed to get it running, but my 1TB and 8TB SSDs aren’t showing up in the Windows disk manager. The BIOS on the B550 indicates drives connected via SATA ports, though I’m unsure what to do next. Additionally, I won’t be able to use the PC for a week since my friends are away and I have it in their workshop.

Did you turn on AMD Software RAID? If yes, you’ll likely have to install the corresponding drivers, or if you’re not concerned about data loss, switch the SATA controller to AHCI mode instead of RAID and restart your system.

Avoiding RAID because I have ample external storage for backups, though I suspect the problem lies with a new motherboard that might require an updated SATA controller driver.

You're facing an issue where your Serial ATA controller isn't updating because of a missing entry, even though the file isn't available on MSI's site.
