Edit: MX500 Showed up in the bios …. still no sign in the windows disk manager

Posted

Hey, 

this afternoon i installed 2 m.2. drives on a Gigabit aorus ultra gaming board. One crucial p1 500 gb's and one mx500 500 gb. Up until now the mx500 has been eyeballing me with a distinct red light which i guess means something like : "Not today buddy"
there are no other drives involved then those 2 so i wanted to ask if someone has any clues about how to solve this mystery? 
I first hoped it would be some kind of pci driver problem, hoping iobit would provide me with the right driver. After its installation it did manage to install the driver for an unknown device but sadly that was not the crucial. 
The board supports a raid function so i don't think this could be a limiting problem either… 
anyway ..

Help is appreciated

Not all M.2 ports support both SATA and PCIe drives, make sure the MX500 is in a slot that supports SATA drives

Does the M.2 slot you're using for the MX500 work?

thank you both for answering. the answer is yes. the upper slot is a pcie/sata slot and the lower one is pcie only. The p1 works in both slots but the crucial fails to respond

What if you use the MX500 on the first slot and not use the P1? If that doesnt work then the MX500 is likely DOA

edit…. after rebooting with the windows disc and starting up a new installation procedure.. i came to the point where i can choose my location. Here the MX was nicely displayed so i figured i'll make a new partition of 50 gb's …. this in turn led finally to windows becoming aware of the extra space 

yay \o/ \o/ \o/ 

I'll guess i'll use the 50 gb partition as a safe :D
