Hello, I just received my new M2 SSD (Samsung 960 Evo 250GB) specifically purchased for launching my games, in addition to a 120GB SSD for Windows and a 1TB HDD for movie backups...
I install it on my compatible motherboard (a MSI Z170 PC Mate), I start the PC and to my surprise, the new SSD is recognized BUT the SSD where Windows is installed and the HDD are no longer recognized!
I check the BIOS, no SATA ports detected except for the optical drive.
I check the connections, everything is properly connected, finally, I remove my new SSD and the other two drives reappear.
What do you think the problem is? A compatibility issue between the hard drives? A specific setting to be adjusted before installing the M2 SSD?
Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Hi,
No, the problem is that the M.2 is probably PCIe (NVMe) and therefore placing an M.2 on the motherboard likely disables SATA ports 3 and 4 on the motherboard (something you should know if you read the motherboard manual, as it is mentioned there).
In the case of a SATA M.2 SSD, it’s ports 1 and 2, 3 and 4 for PCIe (NVMe) M.2 SSDs.
See pages 13 and 14 of the "European" manual in French.
