After updating the X FORMULA bios to 1602
on reboot was given this information.

Detected ATA/ATAPI devices

Sata Port5 WDC xxxxxxx
Sata Port6 WDC xxxxxxx
( my two Disk drives)

A m.2 PCIe device ha been detected in the M.2_2 Socket .
PCIe bandwidth on the socket can be set to x2 or x4.

To improve performance switch from x2 to x4
..................................

Well after reading that I pushed F1 and set the M2 to x4 and lost access to the two hard drives, removed from windows. lol
The rest of the information on the screen Optane memory or the Raid configuration was confusing.

But it did say Sata mode selection must be changed to raid mode to avoid unknown issues ..ah!

I have set the settings back to X2 and the sata drives are showing up again in windows
I have two M2 SSD and two Disk drives.


Can someone walk me though this as I lost in the woods when looking in the bios.
