System fails to recognize the SATA SSD installation.
System fails to recognize the SATA SSD installation.
I just got a new Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD to use as an extra storage for games. I connected the power cable from the PSU and linked the SATA cable to the motherboard. When I tried to open Disk Management, nothing showed up and wasn’t ready to start. The BIOS didn’t detect it either. I turned on hot-swap in the BIOS but still had no success. I updated all the drivers in Device Manager, but I’m stuck and have no ideas anymore. GPU: 3060 M. Bob: b450m A II CPU: Ryzen 5600X BIOS: last updated 2021
Check the earlier message to understand the issue. The manual screenshot was shared again. If you have an M.2 drive, SATA ports 5 and 6 are turned off—consider using a different port.
It seems you overlooked something important. It looks like port 1 through 4 might be the right answer. I'll try it and update. Appreciate your support!
It took a few moments to capture the screenshot, after which I revised the post to receive an initial response. Updating content is typical on this forum.
