Hi,
I have the following drives on Z370 Extreme4 and the M.2 NVMe were the newly purchased recently, the system was just with SATA drives before:
2 M.2 NVMe WDS500G2X0C
1 SATA SSD;
2 SATA HDD;
1 SATA CD-ROM;
Total 2 M.2 and 4 SATA

I connected the SATA drives to SATA3_A1_A2, BIOS able to detect the drives without problem
But when I connected another 2 SATA drives to SATA3_2_3, BIOS only able to detect the CD-ROM but not the SATA SDD (Sandisk Extreme Pro)

The M.2 drives are in RAID 0 but it disabled more SATA ports than I expected, how to make BIOS to detect drives connected to SATA3_2_3? or if there is settings that I missed?

Thanks
