I have searched high and low to find a solution as to why my SSD will not show up. I'm new to building a PC, so I don't know much. There is no prompt to set up the drive when I open up disc management. I have the ASROCK B450M Pro4 motherboard and the Teamgroup MS30 SSD Sata III 6Gb/s. Do I need to update my BIOS? Anyone have a solution or some sort of direction? Anything helps, and thanks in advance.

There is no auto prompt, Do you see it in bios? In disk manafement when scrolling in the bottom half where the allocated drives are there should be on with a black bar with a text saying "unallocated space". That would be the drive. Right click create simple volume give it letter and name and format.

Just did my new NVMe SSD for OS. After format should be like this. Two example drives if not OS drive.

Windows 10, yes. It does not show on disc management anywhere. I see my two other SSD's, but not this one in BIOS. I have switched Sata ports around as well, thinking that was the issue, as I did see I was in Sata3_3, but that didn't seem to fix the issue either.
