Hello, I recently purchased a new WD Blue SN550 to use for Steam, GOG and Epic games and other media. I have the drive installed in the 2nd m.2 slot on the board and it is not being detected in the bios or win10 disk management. I thought maybe the 2nd M.2 slot is disabled by default but I have looked through the bios for a setting or something and can't seem to find anything. I have my 1080ti in the top X16 slot and a Soundblaster Z in the 2nd PCIe 2.0 slot (see attached pic). I have looked through the mobo manual and the only thing I can find is that the M.2_2 socket shares PCIe clock with PCIe x1_1. When PCIe x1_1 or PCIe x1_3 is occupied, the M.2_2 socket can only support SATA mode. The soundblaster z card is in slot 1_2 so as far as I can tell it should work as slots 2.0x1_1 and 2.0x1_3 are empty. Any ideas? TIA
