Im tying to install a NVME 256gb SSD XPG Gammix S5 M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 3x4 on a BIOSTAR B45M2 ver 6.2

 

and for some reason it does not detect the ssd, I cheked the manual about the M.2 Specification and this is what it says:

The M.2 slot supports M.2 Type 2242/2260/2280 SSD module. When installing M.2 SSD
module, please place the screw and hex pillar to correct position.
Ryzen series - Summit Ridge / Pinnacle Ridge / Raven Ridge: Support M.2 SATA III
(6.0 Gb/s) module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32Gb/s).
A-series APU - Bristol Ridge: Support M.2 SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) module.

 

The funny part is that in the manual does not says it supports NVME Drives but in the BIOS it has a NVME option that you can go and see

 

I think my only choice is to Bios Update and see if it fixes the problem

Yeah these older boards usually need a bios update, AMD boards commonly have Ram and Nvme compatibility issues out of the box that need a bios update to fix them. B350 was one of the more common sockets to have Nvme issues.
