This device cannot identify NVMe storage solutions.
Hello! I recently purchased a Samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 storage device to swap in for my previous HP S700 SATA model. Unfortunately, the motherboard isn't detecting it in the BIOS settings. The summary displays "M2_1 Not Present." After looking through forums for similar problems, I followed these steps: updated the BIOS to version 7B84v4E, removed the two SATA mechanical drives I also had, changed the BIOS to SATA Configuration AHCI, switched it to UEFI mode, and turned off Secure Boot. My main concern is that I can't return the drive. I bought it at BestBuy and am now in a different country, so I'm really hoping it's still functional. Could there be another way I should try? Here’s what my setup looks like:
- Motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-M2 V2
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 3500
- RAM: 2x ADATA 8Gb DDR4 3000MHz XPG GAMMIX D30
- GPU: 1660Ti Zotac Gaming 6Gb GDDR6
- Main Drive: HP S700 250Gb SATA
- Secondary drives: Seagate Barracuda ST4000 4Tb and Western Digital... (approx. 7200RPM, 2TB)
- Power supply: AeroCool 700W KCAS 80+ Bronze
Please let me know if you have any other suggestions!
