Next Update: Issue solved. BIOS update provided by ASrock support solved the problem. I´m running on 2.33. Just wanted to try it out and see if it works and didn´t wait for the official AGESA 1.0.0.6 update for the Taichi.

So, I got in contact with Asrock Tech Support. They suggested to check on the latest firmware on the drives. Unfortunately this did not the trick for me, because it´s already the newest installed on my drives, but maybe worth a try for you other guys having the same issue.

I had the same issue a couple months ago. I returned the Toshiba M.2 drive and bought an Intel 600P so now the Samsung 960 EVO works great in M2_1 and Intel 600P in M2_2.
Taichi X370, Ryzen 1700 @ 4ghz, 32GB G.Skill TridentZ Ram, Samsung 960 EVO nvme, Intel 600P nvme, 2TB Seagate HDD, 2TB Hitachi HDD, 1TB Mushkin SSD, GTX 1080

I have opened up a ticket at tech support. Until now I don't have another solution than swapping the SSD's. Not ideal for me, either.

Did you find any solution?
I have the exact same problem. The only different is I have a SM961 256GB and a Plextor M8PE 500GB.
The only combination that works is Plextor 500GB on slot M2_1 and SM961 256GB on slot M2_2.
This is not perfect because the sm961 is faster.

Thanks, already ruled out everything else. I have tried also 2 different 250 and 500GB EVOs on each m2 slot (I'm building the same config again for wifey). And the only combination not working is the 250 GB Evo on slot 1 and 500GB Evo on slot2. Either on BIOS version 1.6 the board shipped with, nor after updating to 2.3. Will contact tech support.

You can inquire with Tech Support directly:

Include a link to this thread in your description. I am sure they will be able to help you out Thumbs Up


Before you make a support request though, maybe try switching the M.2 drives again now you know both slots actually work. Remember to clear CMOS. A drive could have been seated poorly etc. Try and rule out any other possibilities before getting in touch with Tech Support. I suspect the capacity of the 500gb drive is causing the hiccup though, that would mean a BIOS update would be needed as you mentioned. Still, worth checking out if you have not already.

Update: I now have swapped the 250 and 500 GB EVOs so that the 250 is now on m2_2 and the 500 GB on m2_1. And: It works! Nevertheless it's not ideal because I want to have the OS on the ultra m2 slot.

So I can now reinstall the OS on the 500 GB Evo and get a new SATA SSD for games or put the 500 GB onto the shelf and leave the 250 on slot 1 or if ASrock employees read along on the forum kindly request to fix this in a soonish BIOS Update and leave everything as it is now. I prefer the last option because I don't want to spend 200-300 bugs extra on my build for another SSD just because the board is buggy.

If needed I am willing to assist fixing the issue by providing more info and/or logs.
The BIOS version is 2.30

Thanks
Thomas
