Windows 10: FanXIANG S660 4TB M.2

Welp, my problems are as follows: This SSD USED to work. I'm thinking it might be soft-bricked or something... Any help would be nice on how to make it work once more...

Crucial 4TB m.2 NVMe drive not recognized by Windows 11, HP Slim Desktop running 12th gen Intel CPU

Hello,

Looking for some help on NVMe SSD. I have an HP Slim Desktop (12th Gen Intel CPU) with 512GB m.2 primary/OS drive and 1TB secondary HDD. I am unable to add a 4TB Crucial m.2 NVMe via PCIe adapter (Sabrent/EZDIY) or using a USB adapter (BBY Insignia brand) on Windows 11 home edition. It shows up in the disk mgmt dashboard as unknown and when I try to initialize it, it fails to initialize it with an error msg to the effect of not being able to process the request. I have tried 3 brand new Crucial m.2 NVMe drives (all 4TB) and they all fail to work on the system. Any insights on how to resolve this would be very much appreciated. HP is unable to provide any meaningful assistance. Are there any settings I need to modify/update to make this work correctly please?

 

M.2 SSD not being able to boot from it, windows doesn't recognise.

Ok, this is what happened after all the comments and suggestions, @dude: Thanx for the video, my mb had non e of those settings, it had the raid/option memory gene or achi. Can only choose one or the other. @Saltgrass, my settings did point out auto and enabled the pcie x4, gen 3. I did an bios flash as suggested, because my bios was not the latest version, after a reformat the m.2 was picked up, still cant install OS onto it as it states legacy not found, removed my dvd rom from the sata port to another, and the drive was found and installed. Only issue now is that it's still not my OS drive but it at least now works and is installed, but on the Intel rst drive the obtain memory gene option to enable is greyed out, and shows as disabled. However the program lists the M.2 and it is working 100%,. I installed overwhatch onto it, it performs perfectly. But will update the intel driver tonight and see if that makes any difference. Seems the bios flash enabled the settings listed by @dude that was not present pre-flash.

So the m.2 drive works. I can game off it and install omnto it. Can not install windows on it, gene memmory is enabled, pcie x4 is on and on auto detect, Motherbaord lists all the drives connected, motherboard ahs been updated to latest bios. After flash new settings became available, m.2 is now on memmory gene enabled not achi, windows os is enabled and fast boost is enabled, intel rst is installed and lists all the ssds and the m.2, however the m.2 on memmory gene is dissabled and the option to enable is greyed out. Will update the driver as Essenbe suggested of the m.2 and see if anything changes. Thank you all for the help, I can now atleast use my m.2

 

PCIE to M.2 adapter.

Thanks @cadaveca. M.2 in raid, wonder what the benefits are.

So any suggestions on a better adapter?
