No i cannot locate it in the bios.

[lopj245]

Is the bios updated to the most recent version?

Also make sure m.2 is enabled in the bios.. Depending on your mobo it might not be.

What motherboard? What slot did you install the M.2 drive into?

What port is the HDD plugged into?

It's highly possible you have a board that disables 1 or 2 SATA ports when an M.2 is plugged into a specific spot. Try moving the drive to SATA port 3 or 4 and see.

SATA ports might share bandwidth with an M.2, and when M.2 is connected some SATA ports can get disabled... try connecting your 1 TB drive to another port if there is any.

I don't know if the bios is the latest version I asume it is since I just bought it, but I don't know.

The m.2 does work properly

I plugged it in a another slot and it worked!
