M.2_2 wont work

[Crysknife]

Hi All,

 

its got me buggered, new to M.2's.

M.2_1 works fine, but M.2_2 wont work at all.

*edit* -- Have tried the drives in both slots.. both drives work, just not together.

 

Both are WD blue 500gb nand sata ssd's 2280.

Got asus H270F for board, Bios only shows information for the first M.2 drive.

 

 

i have 2 other drive's plugged in, on Sata port's 3/4 as 1 is taken by First m.2 and i thought 5/6 were taken by the second M.2..

 

Anyone have any idea what im missing?

M.2_2 will only accept Optane or x4 PCIe drives, not the SATAIII ssds.
