Hiii 

I've just finished building brand new PC. Everything works except for secondary drive Samsung 870 QVO. Device menager shows drive active and installed. However PC does not show it. I can not format partitions or do anything. I can not even see it in disk menager. Drivers are up to date. I checked everything on 2nd PC and the same thing happened. EDIT: Based on comments here are photos. They are in Polish, but translation is "this device works correctly" and as you can see I can't see it on disk menager

What else is in your PC? Do you have an M.2 drive installed?

 

Often, motherboards will disable 1 or 2 SATA ports if a certain M.2 slot is populated. If the SATA drive is connected to a port that gets disabled by your M.2, you won't be able to do anything with it until you move it to a port that isn't disabled.

I have M.2 in top spot in both motherboards. However other SSD works fine
