ROG Crosshair VIII Extreme: how to turn M.2 drives off?
Am I completely dumb of the BIOS lacks this option?
I mean, I want to simply switch off some M.2 slots or the DIMM.2 one to make SDDs not visible to the OS without having to phisically disconnect them... not that hard thing, I think...

Computer management, storage, disk manager snap in, unmount the device.
You could also disable the device driver, but the above is a nice way.
What is the actual purpose ?Last edited by RedSector73; 07-06-2022 at 03:47 AM.

Well, this is a software solution, but I need to do it on the hardware side.

I always prefer to install Windows with the minimum possible hardware.
