I would say either a bad M.2 or bad M.2 slot, sadly, easiest way is to get a cheap-o $30 NVMe and test

I have 2 of these with customers (and the older b350m pro 4 as well) and no issues so far (knock on wood)]]> Fri, 05 Jun 2020 05:32:06 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14102&PID=76157&title=help-asrock-b450m-steel-legend#76157 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14102&PID=74337&title=help-asrock-b450m-steel-legend#74337 Author: Xaltar

You can try cleaning the contacts in the slot with some isopropyl alcohol and a
cotton bud, also clean the contacts on the drive itself. When clean make sure the
M.2 drive is fully inserted into the slot and give it another go. If that still
fails you can try returning the drive. If you have another system to test it in
that would be even better. ]]> Wed, 15 Apr 2020 02:45:36 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14102&PID=74337&title=help-asrock-b450m-steel-legend#74337 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14102&PID=74331&title=help-asrock-b450m-steel-legend#74331 Author: Boygetout

Still no help.

I am afraid I have not used NVME drives with my systems so can't offer much more

Which M.2 slot did you try? You need to use the M2_1 slot for NVME drives.]]> Tue, 14 Apr 2020 15:59:35 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14102&PID=74315&title=help-asrock-b450m-steel-legend#74315 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14102&PID=74312&title=help-asrock-b450m-steel-legend#74312 Author: Boygetout

Hey, I recently bought a 970 EVO drive for my computer and windows or my bios won't detect it, I've put it in the Ultra M.2 slot and I don't know what to do. Please help.
