Hi guys, can anyone tell me if this slot supports NVME drives? It says it does in the manual and I've put both a Western Digital Black and Intel 660P NVME drives in this slot neither one have been detected. Any thoughts, Ideas or Bios settings that need to happen? ------------- Corsair AX860, Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB , Asrock X370 Killer SLI/ac , Ryzen 5 1600X, 16GB DDR 4 3200 |

I also forgot to add, I put the drives into the other slot next to the CPU, and both drives work there. It seems that I was given a board that has a bad M2 slot. ------------- Corsair AX860, Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB , Asrock X370 Killer SLI/ac , Ryzen 5 1600X, 16GB DDR 4 3200 |

Dear Vantharas, Thank you for posting your query to the ASRock forum. Kindly be noted that M.2_1 slot is reserved for the future CPU. To use the M.2, please install the M.2 on M.2_3/M.2_2 by referring to the page. 7 in the following link: https://download.asrock.com/Manual/Z490%20Extreme4.pdf With thanks, ASRock TSD |

The manual doesn't make that clear. Its been written to seem like only PCI-E Gen 4 is supported in a future CPU release not that the slot *WILL NOT WORK* unless you have said future CPU. That being said Thanks for the quick response I appreciate it!!! ------------- Corsair AX860, Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB , Asrock X370 Killer SLI/ac , Ryzen 5 1600X, 16GB DDR 4 3200 |
