Adapter for M.2 Drive

The adapter "steve108" listed is of the correct type.

You need one that supports a SATA M.2 drive, and the B+M slots. M.2 - Wikipedia

 

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

 

Problems installing an M.2 Gen4 drive.

Hi Guys,
I am having an issue with my MB and a M.2 Gen4 M.2.

First my hardware list:
MB: ROG STRIX B550-XE GAMING WiFi (BIOS 1805)
GPU: AMD Radion RX 5700 XT
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X
SSD: 2 x M.2 Gen3 Sabrent Rocket Q SCSi Disks 1TB
SSD: ScanDisk Ultra 2 960Gig
HDU: 3

This current configuration is running fine with no issues.

The problem is I decided to upgrade my boot drive to a Gen for so ordered and received a Sabrent Gen4 disk which I would have though a straight sway and reinstall of OS etc would have been straight forward BUT, no :-( When I replaced the Gen3 with the Gen4 the computer would not boot and got stuck at error code 7C. I went online to investigate and followed every recommendation I could find. I disconnected all my Sata drives and removed the second M.2 drive, reset the bios to what the recommendations said but still a 7C error. The conclusion I cane to was a faulty M.2 so I sent it back and ordered a different drive a Corsair MP600 Gen 4 and as you probably have guessed it also stops at 7C (Its a pre-post state the stops the computer even getting to the bios screen). When Iput the Gen3 back in all works wonderfully.

Can anyone out the help or advise what is going on?

Regards,
