Hardware:
Asus Z170-Pro
Samsung 950 Pro (M.2)
Samsung 850 Pro (SATA)

I already have Windows 10 Installed on the M.2 and running fine. The M.2 is installed directly in the M.2 Port on the mobo. I would like to keep the M.2 as my OS Drive and install the SATA SSD via SATA just as extra storage. I have it powered and hooked up through the first SATA port and the computer recognizes it under devices but through My Computer I cannot see nor access it. I would like the computer to look at it as one drive but I hear bad things about Raid 0. Thankyou ahead of time for your help.

FIXED : Alittle more research. I just needed to find my drive under disk management and format it -_-

1. You really, really really do not want a RAID 0 with those drives.

2. Since the 850 Pro is a new drive, you probably just have to initialize it.
Does it appear in Disk Management?
If so, initialize, format, give it a drive letter. D or E.
