Could you let me know which motherboard are you using, along with any other drivers currently connected to the system along with which SATA port they are connected to?

Ah, a laptop. This might be a bit more difficult. Since there is no motherboard manual for this configuration, I am going to have to take a guess at what the problem is. Could you remove any SATA drives from your drive bays and enter your BIOS to see if the M.2 shows up?

Somehow skipped over the laptop part.

I would suggest you update your BIOS. You can find the drivers and bios installations for the Y910-17ISK at http://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-y-series-laptops/y910-17isk/downloads. You will need to boot into Windows using your previous drive to run this installation.

I am unsure what your exact model of your y910 is, but I found this information on a thread about a Y700-15ACZ, which may be encountering an identical issue to yours.

About M.2 SSD upgrade:

 

I tried out the Samsung SM951 512 GB AHCI Version which has M-Key connector like the mainboard (see picture). The SSD is able to do PCIe 3.0 (northbridge) and PCIe 2.0 (southbridge). But the SSD was not recognized.

 

That means the Y700-15ACZ has no PCIe Lanes connected to its M.2 port! So be careful. You can only use SATA SSD models there. Those have normally Key M+B coding. Lenovo soldered wrong M.2 port to the mainboard (maybe to save money as it uses the same on Intel versions which support PCIe). Correct is only Key M+B port (shame Lenovo engineers).

 

After searching around I think the best SSD you can put in here is the Samsung EVO 850 512 GB. It seems to be the fastest, has best lifetime, good price, good tools and comes with 5 years warranty. You can also choose smaller versions of that but write performance will be much slower than.

I also found a video backing up this claim with another Lenovo Y700. It seems to be a common trend throughout Lenovo laptops.

Therefore, I would suggest that you look to return your Intel 6000p SSD and purchase a Samsung 850. If you are unable to this, you may be out of luck.
