    not gonna lie this is driving me nuts added a M.2 SATA SSD to my PC for extra games storage 🤷 its nowhere to be seen in Disk Management:

    Also, one of my SATA drives disappeared at the same time. That feels connected but i cant figure out how. Id realy like both drives to work at the same time. If theres a setting or slot trick, Id love to know before i start pulling cables out.

    reseat the drive at the proper angle, push it fully into the connector, then screw it down. A drive that isnt fully inserted may show intermittently or not at all. fingers crossed 🤞

    ehh id be careful switching from RST/VMD to AHCI on an existing Windows install. without preparation, it can cause a boot failure. loading teh driver is safer. but hey ymmv

    @milan_ping yesss moved the M.2 SATA SSD to the first M.2 slot and both it and my SATA drive show up now. The manual's lane table was the answer.
