    ok weird one added a new NVMe SSD to my PC for extra games storage. its nowhere to be seen in Device Manager:

    Also, one of my SATA drives disappeared at the same time. That feels connected but i cant figure out how. Id really 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. any ideas??

    hmmm a brand new drive wont appear in File Explorer until its initialized and formatted xD open Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc); if you get an Initialize Disk prompt, choose GPT, then create a new simple volume. worked for me anyway 🤷
