   Mobo : Asrock B450 Steel Legend
Drive : WD Black SN750X 2TB

Tried both M.2 Slots on the mobo, cant detect the drive. But able to detect the older [Adata SX8500PNP 500GB]. Then only i check the supported storage, its not in the list.

I wonder if there are anything i can do to make it usable ? Bios update ? Get PCIE card that offer M.2 slots ? Anything ? Its ok if i cant use it as boot drive or utilize max speed, I just dont want it to collect dust. Thanks.

	Dear narf03, Keep in mind that M.2 share resources M2_2, SATA3_3 and SATA3_4 share lanes. If either one of them is in use, the others will be disabled. *If M2_1 is occupied, PCIE4 will be disabled. But I think the problem that you have is related to the controllsr chip on the m.2 The M.2 will mayby work on another board, but this is a kinf of known issue, with all brands of motherboards, and is casued by either the controller on the m.2 not being detected via the PCIE lanes m2_1 comes directly from the CPU, so when the old drive is recognized, but the new one not, the best option is to replace it with another brand
	Kind Regards
