Hi,

In regard to my Asrock Z370 Tai Chi Motherboard, I have 2 identical m.2 drives, the only port that will recongnise them is m.2_3, neither of the other 2 will show them in the bios or windows drive manager

I have tried both drives in all ports and both only work in m.2_3

I have unplugged all SATA devices so there is no conflict issues.

I have 2 x WD SN770 2TB M.2 Drives

Bios is 4.20 and has been reset and restored to defaults, can unyone help please, its looking like I will have to send one of the drives back as the board maybe faukty, tho its seems strange 2 ports would fail.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Shu

M2_3, can support NVME, as well as SATA M.2 cards
The other 2 M.2 ports, can only supporty PCIE( NVME) cards.

Also under storage, you can see that ports share resources, and by using M.2, you loose SATA ports.
Also check if the firmware of the M.2 card is up to date, and if possible try another brand NVME card for a test.
Sometimes it can be a compatibility issue with the firmware of the cards, meaning they work in another system, but not on this board
When using another brand, it works fine
Kind Regards

Hi

Thanks for the reply

They are WD SN770 NVMe SSD's

I purchased a Sabrent NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe card for the drives to see if that works, and it did.

So It appears it may be faulty ports maybe?

My Extreme4 board had no issues once I forced the Bios in the settings to see them, but there is no option on this bios.
