Can't make my A-data XPG Gammix S10 SSD to show in BIOS, shows in hardware manager

victorgrauengaard · Apr 3, 2018

So, I bought an A-Data XPG S10, and installed it in my ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming Motherboard, but the drive won't show up in BIOS.

I see it in the Windows hardware manager, but it wont show in disk management or anything else, trying to use the disk partitioner through CMD and then listing disks also showed that my SSD did not show up.

The SSD was installed in a system with an old HDD, I planned migrating it from the SSD to the HDD, but my plans seem to have been foiled for now.

Any ways to fix this?

"*1:When the M.2 Socket 3 is operating in SATA mode, SATA port 1 will be disabled."
Also update the BIOS to the latest version first.

I'll try updating my BIOS, in regards to the M.2 slot operating in SATA mode, it's a PCIe m.2 slot, so I don't really understand, sorry for my confusion

It not showing up in bios, but show up in device manger?

rgd1101 :

I've suceeded in making the SSD appear in my boot options, but disk manager still doesn't show anything, nor can it be configured under my BIOS storage settings, no m2 ports are present even, only SATA ports, which I find odd.

Are you using an adapter card?

James Mason · Apr 3, 2018

It's an NVME drive, so that "might" be why it doesn't show up under sata config.
Is your uhh storage settings in the bios in AHCI or Raid mode? should be AHCI.
But you may have to set the M.2 slot to run in... not sata mode.
Are you SURE it doesn't show up under Disk Management? Can you screenshot what's there for us?

Using a PCIe SSD for a PCIe m.2 slot, updated the BIOS, didnt help, it's there in BIOS but I can't configure it or see how much space is on it

I can see it through Harddisk sentinel but that's it.

Disk Manager looks as following:

Okay, so I found an odd solution in this thread:

I advise anyone else with a similar problem, to go here.

Did you already have a storage pool in storage spaces setup before?

victorgrauengaard · Apr 4, 2018

Nope, no clue why it was there, on further reflection I know the PC had been used as a personal storage server, has capacity for like 10 3.5 inch drives, might have been why.

I think is the new features on windows 10, any new storage(non-os) go to storage pool
