I bought a new Kingston A400 SSD with 960Gb storage. It works fine in BIOS mode but fails to appear in Windows or Disk Management. It seems there might be an issue. I compared it to my old Samsung 860 EVO, which functions perfectly—what’s happening here? The product is under warranty, so I appreciate your help.

Many IDE slots are available, but the SATA ports aren’t visible. The Kingston device is set as a slave—consider swapping it to the master slot on another channel or moving the Samsung to the slave slot on the same channel (channel 6). Ideally, relocate them to channel 0 first, then verify detection in Windows via Device Manager.
