Hi everyone! I just set up a new PC with fresh components and everything feels great. However, one of my drives isn’t showing up. I’ve attached some details about the M.2 and SSD below, but reading the manual is making me a bit confused. Could someone point out if I missed anything? For example, should I use a specific SATA lane when using M.2? I had a similar problem before with my old system! Thanks in advance for your help!

I would try moving the drive down one. I would have thought that the drive would just run with a x2 connection in that slot, but maybe for some reason it can't. In either case, M2C_SB would be better as it would give you double the bandwidth. As for the rubber pad, as long as the drive is able to seat properly, it shouldn't be required.
