The 980 is an NVMe drive, the second M.2 slot only supports SATA drives:

M2_2 is SATA only. The intel drive is also NVMe so your only option would be to
either use a PCIe to NVMe adapter add in card or use a SATA drive in the second
M.2 slot.]]> Fri, 26 Nov 2021 19:14:53 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19870&PID=91105&title=compatibility-asrock-b450m-pro4#91105 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=19870&PID=91102&title=compatibility-asrock-b450m-pro4#91102 Author: Boris

Dear,

This may be the wrong place for this kind of question, so do redirect me if needed.
So I bought the ASRock B450M Pro4 a while ago and insterted the Intel 660p 1TB M.2 SSD.

This works fine, now I received a Samsung 980 1TB M.2 SSD from my brother and wanted to insert this into the second M2 slot.

But it is not recognized, I understand that this is because of the limitations in the lanes thus closing a SATA slot.
But I installer the samsung in the 2nd M2 slot and it is not SATA.

Can this setup work or ?
