Have you tried to disable CSM in the BIOS? That worked for me on the RVE10.

disabling CMS does not give anything is still invisible

Not uncommon to not see it in the BIOS.
In disk manager initialize GPT defaults, all good. Only the UEFI boot partition should be MBR. After initalize you can either create a partition or if you plan on using it for OS leave it as is without creating a partition that will be deleted anyhow.


I can not do anything, the disk is not visible in the disc manator ;/

Thanks for help!

Any sugestion?

I had a similar issue and I found a solution.

I own a Samsung 950 PRO, 960 PRO and 970 PRO. For unknown reason only the 970 PRO was not visible when using an Operating System by booting in BIOS(MBR) mode.

The 970 PRO and the others are visible when using an OS by booting in UEFI(GPT) mode.
For a fresh install if you use a Windows Bootable USB key in UEFI(GPT), it will install fine even if the drive was not initialized.

Does anyone know why such behaviour with the 970 PRO only?

A guess (to be confirmed): Newer NVMe protocole v1.3 for the 970 PRO (960 PRO is v1.2)
MB: Asus Rampage V Extreme (WC loop1 rad 120x3) Bios 4101
CPU: Core i7-6950X (WC loop2 rad 120x9)

GPU: ZOTAC Trinity RTX 3090 Watercooled [double side] {PCIE_X16/X8_3 slot} (WC loop3 rad 120x9 + 140x9)
SSD: Corsair MP600 PRO XT 2To SSD M.2 NVMe w/ heatsink
HDD: 4 x 10TB Seagate IronWolf RAID 0 (WC loop1)
PSU: EVGA NEX 1500 1650W + Seasonic Fanless TX-700W

This topic forced me to to install my new Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 1TB.
I was impatience when I saw problems on similar board as mine.

I have ruined version of Windows and didn't change nothing specific in BIOS except CSM is Disabled.
And Disk Management see him as Unallocated. That mean should be fine. I have some job in house but later tonight I will install OS.

If not because RGB RVE10 is better because additional U.2 connector.
He maybe become important in future. Only cables are tragic like floopy cables.
I hope I will not have problems with OS Installation.
