Can Not get X370 Tiachi to see my second M2 Module

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I have a Tiachi X370 motherboard, Bios version 3.2. I have windows installed in the 1st module slot, and windows see's that. I don't know what to enable or disable in the bios without screwing something up. Been trying to figure this out for a while. Here are some screenshots of what I have currently set up.

Can someone help me out here? Or, should I buy a M2 PCIE SSD Adapter? 
I don't know much about Raid and AHCI. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

	I think your problem is that the M2_2 on your Taichi only accepts PCIe devices. While the M2_1 slot (your current Win boot drive) does accept both SATA & PCIe, the second slot does not. Check here, http://asrock.nl/downloadsite/Manual/X370%20Taichi.pdf page 41 and below. EDIT: your WD Blue are SATA, so... 2 options - either get a PCIe SSD (PCIe 2.0 x4, though) for the second slot, or get a PCIe adapter and put the second one in some PCIe slot. IDK what kind of adapter is best. Leave RAID and AHCI as is. Your setup is fine in this regard, UNLESS you want to setup a RAID array. Edited by zlobster - 01 Jan 2018 at 11:50pm
