    M.2 NVMe showing as Microsoft storage device


    Hello I've come in search of help as I've tried many thing for my pc to recognize my M.2 and it just keeps showing up as Microsoft storage space device and putting it lightly I'm losing my mind. I know its detected on the computer when I go to manage storage setting it says the physical driver is there but when I create a new storage space its considered as Microsoft storage space device and I'm beyond confused.Help of any kind would be appreciated

    :)

    NVMe M.2 SSD not showing in Windows 11 Storage Spaces

    I just "rebuilt", upgraded, my computer. I also upgraded to Windows 11. Everything went well. I used a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB NVMe M.2 4.0 for the main drive and installed qty. 3 Crucial P3 1TB PCIe Gen3 on the remaining three available slots for storage.

    I can see the three Crucial drives in BIOS, Disk Manager, windows folder, etc. I can access them in Windows, they operate as normal drives. When I go to Storage Spaces and try to create one, no drives show up. Not any of the NVMe M.2 drives or even a separate Samsung 980 1TB ssd connected to a SATA port.

    What do I need to change for the drive to appear?

    Hardware:

    Gigabyte Gaming X Z690

    Intel i5 13th Gen

    G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB DDR4 3600 CL16 1.35V Dual Channel

    MSI 2060 Graphics Card

    Regards, Tom

    Windows not recognizing new m.2 NVME SSD but shows in BIOS

    I purchased a crucial nvme m.2 ssd for my MSI GT73 Titan - It shows in the PCIE section of the BIOS but does not show in disk management - Also does not show up in Crucial's Storage Executive Application.

    My BIOS is the latest version.

    Any ideas?

    M.2 NVMe showing as Microsoft storage device

    Migrate OS to M.2 nvme

    Hi, I'm Mario, and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

    We are sorry about what happened.

    The best option is that you also install the operating system on this nvme.

    There is no point in having the games running on nvme and the operating system on a HDD.

    Thus I suggest that the operating system is in the nvme and the games on another storage device.

    If your nvme has plenty of space, even better to have everything on it, ok?



    Kind Regards,

    Mario B.
