You're facing a tricky situation with your storage devices. It sounds like the issue might be related to how the BIOS recognizes the drives or possibly a compatibility problem. Have you checked the connections and settings in your BIOS? Also, ensure that the drives are properly seated and not damaged. If the problem persists, consider consulting the manufacturer's support or checking for firmware updates.

This indicates you've explored various SATA connections. SATA5 and SATA6 are turned off once the M.2 slot is filled, refer to page 32 of your guide.

I've tested various SATA ports but excluded SATA5 and SATA6 because I was aware they were turned off. Right now, my two SATA cables are connected to SATA1 and SATA2, which I confirm function properly after switching the drives.
