Nicolas, your Kingston A2000 1Tb is a PCIe SSD, which is incompatible with the M2_2 socket you are trying to use it with. Per the user guide M2_2 is compatible with SATA SSDs only.

In BIOS Advanced page select Storage Configuration, enter.
Make sure SATA is enabled, and I take it Sata Mode is AHCI.
On the same page, check that nothing is detected next to SATA3_3.
Also worth a try temporary putting your Kingston SSD into primary M.2 slot to see if SSD is not faulty. And for a change plug Samsung SSD into secondary slot afterwards. Do it one by one. Keep in mind secondary M.2 slot is not bootable, so you can boot Windows out of SSD placed in it ]]> Tue, 02 Feb 2021 15:11:49 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6355&PID=83633&title=ab350m-pro4-and-dual-m-2#83633 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6355&PID=83616&title=ab350m-pro4-and-dual-m-2#83616 Author: Nikolas

Specs mention this:
M2_2 and SATA3_3 share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the other one will be disabled.

Make sure you don't have anything plugged in into your SATA3_3 connector.
Your motherboard has 4 SATA connectors on right hand side. Check your Manual page 8, which shows which one of the connectors is Sata3_3. If anything is plugged into it, disconnect and use other 3 ports.

Hope this helps]]> Mon, 01 Feb 2021 15:40:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6355&PID=83585&title=ab350m-pro4-and-dual-m-2#83585 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6355&PID=83579&title=ab350m-pro4-and-dual-m-2#83579 Author: Nikolas

There is a second M2 socket, M2_2. It should be located behind PCIE3. Whether or not you can use it for another M@ SSD depends on the SSD. It appears that M2_2 is SATA only, plus it shares resources with connector SATA3_3. Check your user manual or quick installation guide.

Hi.
I have an AB350M Pro4 with a M2 SSD 256 GB and I want to add one more M2 SSD 512 GB. Is that possible? Are there available slots on the motherboard or I have to buy a 2.5??? ]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2019 00:53:32 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6355&PID=60816&title=ab350m-pro4-and-dual-m-2#60816 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6355&PID=38180&title=ab350m-pro4-and-dual-m-2#38180 Author: UncleGamer

Okay so found a partial solution. The SATA M.2 slot is located in a bad spot for my build. The video card heat is hitting the SSD in the slot and causing it to have issues. I removed the SSD from that slot and the system stabilized a LOT.

With a blower card this might be less of an issue. My only assumption since the drive works perfect in other systems is the heat was creating an issue.]]> Fri, 20 Oct 2017 01:33:15 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6355&PID=38180&title=ab350m-pro4-and-dual-m-2#38180
