Weird post screen hdd issue

GrimmCanRage · August 9, 2022

Hi all I'm having a weird issue during post.

I've got a ryzen 1700x 32gb ram system with 4 hdd in it ( 1 nvme m.2 250gbas os drive, 1 ssd 250gb and 2 mechanical drive ) and during post most of the time only 3 of then ever show in post (the m.2 doesn't show so I assumed it's a m.2 thing) but occasionally only 2 show up.

All works fine after boot into os though. Is it a sign ones about to bite the dust?

Thanks for any assistance.

Sometimes m.2 drives show up separately from where the other drives show up, even in bios. I wouldn't be worried about that. Unsure on the other drives. Sounds like alot of small drives though. I like keeping two drives in my PC only, with them both being larger storage.

Thanks for the info. Yea I did assume that with the m.2. I did want larger versions of the ssd but it was 5 years ago and money constraints kinda dictated what I got the mechanical drives are my biggest (at 4 and 8 tb) and got added to it later when old drive died. my next build ( once reviews for new ryzen and 40series are out ( well assuming a certain youtuber manages to test before dropping them ) and i can see prices and comparison for current and nxt gen )is gonna be a ssd only system with my current system being turned into a server for storage/plex and game servers.

Just hoping my current system lasts or I sell both my kidneys to pay for a new one.

Once again thanks for info
