I'm trying to add a second M.2 (Samsung EVO Plus 2TB) to my system. I already have the same M.2 in the integrated NVMe slot. The BIOS says the slot is empty, doesn't show the drive in Storage, and Windows doesn't see the drive.
BIOS is the current version and the pass-through adapter & M.2 work in another computer. I've tried PCIe slot 3 & 4. Slot 1 has my GPU and slot 2 is blocked by the GPU.
Any ideas?

Sorry. I 'm using a Z97M Killer.
