My set up:

ASRock B450 _Pro4 Bios 5.60
ASUS DUAL RX 580 OC 8GB
PNY 8GB PC4-25600 DDR4 SDRAM UDIMM x2 (slots 2 and 4)

2 internal SSD (1x240 GB Windows drive), 1x1TB data)
2 internal HDD (2x1TB data)

I bought a Patriot P310 240GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD with a view to using this as the Windows boot drive and moving the 240GB SSD to another PC to speed that one up. Thing is I can't get the Patriot recognised in the bios. I have tried it in M2_1 (Ultra M.2) adn M2_2, tried clearing the CMOS, disconnecting all the other drives, changing different bios settings, and then resetting and updating the bios. All to no avail. I have to assume this is not a compatible card, though I am not really sure why that should be the case.

Anyone have any other thoughts or know of other 240GB cards that are compatible? The list on the ASRock pages appears to mostly have ones that are discontinued.

Well, I answered this by buying and installing a Kingston A2000 M.2 2280 PCIe NVME SSD, which was recognised as soon as I rebooted. Now I will try cloning Windows 11 to that and booting from it.

I suspect it was a faulty drive.
