    hmmm a brand new drive wont appaer in File Explorer until its initialized and formatted. Open Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc); if you get an Initialize Disk prompt, choose GPT, then create a new simple volume. fingers crossed 🤞

    reseat the drive at teh proper angle, push it fully into teh connector, then screw it down. A drive that isn't fully inserted may show intermittently or not at all.

    @late_probe Moved teh new NVMe SSD to teh first M.2 slot and both it and my SATA drive show up now. The manuals lane table was the answer.
