My motherboard can't see my m.2 drive?

It doesn’t show under the NVMe devices list in the advanced tab in your UEFI? That’s strange. Got the latest UEFI firmware?

Hey guys,

So I have a 500gb Samsung 960 EVO m.2 ssd. I have Samsung Magician installed and it can see the m.2 drive. It says there's no compatibility issues and the drive condition is "GOOD". The motherboard is an ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme and the m.2 drive is on a DIMM card. (Because there's no space on the motherboard for an m.2 slot.) When I go into my bios it doesn't recognize anything in the DIMM slot. (Says it's empty) Do any of you know anything about this? Am I missing something?

have you allocated the drive in disk management

It detects in windows, its the UEFI it isn’t showing up in.

it's Asus' Dimm.2 thing, shouldn't be too special compared to regular M.2 as to have compatibility issues.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Alright wait a second. I updated my bios because I was a version behind and it's there! BUT, I can't assign it a letter or format it.
