Hi,
I own an Acer Swift SF515-51T-57PL laptop with an SSD soldered directly onto the motherboard. This SSD is no longer recognized by the BIOS. It seems to be either 256GB or 512GB in size. In the BIOS I disabled the dead SSD (marked as Hard disk 0). The laptop also has a separate NVMe socket, but it only appears to work with certain SSDs. I've tried the following models:
Sandisk 128GB SATA M.2 - BIOS detects and installs Windows
Toshiba 256GB SATA M.2 - BIOS doesn't detect it
WD SN530 256GB NVMe - BIOS doesn't detect it
Kingston 512GB NVMe - BIOS doesn't detect it
I've never encountered such a selective M.2 slot before—anyone else have seen this? Any suggestions on compatible SSDs?

I omitted mentioning the update details. It was previously on v1.02, but now it matches v1.04 with no changes.
