Issues with the MSI Mortar Max B450M M.2 include storage problems and potential compatibility challenges.
Hi everyone, I’m facing a problem with the board settings on my system. I have an NVMe WD 500GB M.2 in the M2.1 slot, but I also bought a WD 500GB M.2 for the other side. I learned that the M.2 SATA slot in M2.2 isn’t working, so I moved the NVMe drive there and the SATA to M2.1. Now I can’t boot from the NVMe drive as it’s no longer recognized by BIOS. Anyone else had a similar issue? Do you have any suggestions or solutions?
Test by turning off all storage devices except the boot drive to check functionality.
Regarding the adapter, I wouldn't have purchased the board had I assumed I needed one. However, it could be an alternative. I've removed all drives except NVME in M2.1, and it boots fine. It's somewhat ineffective with a second M.2 and causes issues like this.
