Not detecting secondary NVMe M.2 devices on new hardware setup.
Not detecting secondary NVMe M.2 devices on new hardware setup.
I recently purchased components to build a new PC, and so far everything is functioning well except the secondary M.2 slot isn’t showing up. You have a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an MSI Pro X870e-P Wi-Fi, 64GB Corsair Vengeance RAM (2x32), a Zotac 4070Ti Super, a Samsung 990 Evo plus 1TB for the main drive, and another Samsung 990 Evo plus 4TB for the secondary. In BIOS you can see the drive, but when you open Disk Management, right-click the primary drive, go to Properties, then Hardware—drive appears but you can’t format it. When you check the drive properties, it says it’s working fine, yet in Volume Manager it shows “Volume information for this disk can not be found.” You also tried Samsung Magician, which didn’t detect it either. It seems the issue might be with the secondary drive setup or driver configuration.
