Are you putting the drive into an M.2 slot (remember this is a connection type and there are variants such as NVMe or SATA drives in M.2 format) on your motherboard or are you using a caddy?

 

Its probably not compatible with your board. Get yourself a USB caddy.

Probably gaming or helping technophobes with tech...

1. Incorrect installation

 

2. M.2 slot broken / disabled in BIOS (not sure about this)

Could probably do with a bios update like I did on my Z97 board. Check bios settings as well.

Which slot have you got it installed in? I see there's 2 slots, 1 for NVME and the other is sata. Try using the other slot and see if it works.

Use the quote button next time. No, both slots support 2242/2260/2280 but the second slot also supports 2230 which is the 3 prong type you're talking about. If the SSD you have isn't an NVME drive then it could possibly work in the second slot.

Good. But I've gotta tell you this, it literally took me a few minutes to find your answer on google so you might want to try that first. I typed 'asrock ab350m pro4 m.2 ssd' into google and found your answer on the first page.
