Having trouble finding an SSD for the M2 Ultra slot on this board. I looked at the support list and they list the WD 750, but when I google I never found anyone that got this to work... I tried the WD SN770 and the board did not recognize it..Help!

What CPU and BIOS?

I've used both a HP SSD EX900 and a Samsung 980.
With a AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (BIOS 5.70) and a Ryzen 2 (BIOS 3.50).
I lucked out because I never ready the support list.

You have this:

It is a bit newer than mine: https://asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450M%20Pro4/index.us.asp#BIOS" rel="nofollow - https://asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450M%20Pro4/index.us.asp#BIOS

Try the other m.2 slots?
Do you have any hard drives connected?
Try different SATA ports for them.

It could be a defective motherboard, I don't know if an M.2 port failure is common.
I'd contact ASRock support, they helped me even though I am far out of warranty.

Do not have any other M2 slots..
I disconnected all the other drives and tried that... no success

Next I'm trying a PCI slot adapter for NVME.. if that doesn't work I'll contact ASrock support

thanks for your help

Is this your manual: https://asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450%20Pro4%20R2.0/index.us.asp#Manual" rel="nofollow - https://asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450%20Pro4%20R2.0/index.us.asp#Manual

There is M2_2 and M2_1.

Maybe support has some ideas.

I ended up getting a M.2 NVME to PCIe 3x4 adapter and it works!

thanks for all your help
