Hi,
I have a Asrock Z270M Mainbaord and I am not able to convince it to detect my Samsung SSD 970 Pro M.2 PCIe Nvme SSD. What I did so far: - Update Bios to latest version (2.30) - Clear CMOS - disconnect everything except the M.2 SSD (no SATA devices, no add in cards) - tried both Ultra M.2 Slots In the BIOS the NVMe section doesn't even shop up. In Storage configuration it says "not detected" on both M.2 slots. I tested the SSD in an ASUS Board and it gets detected right away. I then tried the SSD in PCIe Adapter and put it in last slot and there it gets detected and I can boot off it. Why the hell does this not work in the M.2 Slots? Thanks in advance. Christian

CSM is disabled but I tried it with CSM on and off and it made no difference.

Today a friend borrowed me an Intel Optane NVMe SSD and it worked in the upper Ultra M.2 slot but strangely not in the lower one. I then swapped in the 970 Pro and again it didn't work. I really don't get that....Please let me know if you any more ideas. Thanks!

Test you 970 in his system, if it works your MB propably does not support the drive

I already tested the 970 in another sys and it works fine. It also works via PCIe Adapter in the Asrock Boards but not the M.2 Slots...

Then i guess the 970 is not compatibel with your board. Its getting detected via an adapter because your system recognizes your adapter and the adapter tells the system theres a 970 in the system.
