Asus Maximus VIII Hero Will Not Detect My SSD Drive

Hi,

I have a system with the Asus Maximus VIII Hero motherboard. The only SSD that I have had installed until now is a Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E500 500 GB. Other than that, I have had an Asus BC 12D2HT BD/DVD drive installed.

Today I got my new M.2 SSD drive. A Samsung 850 EVO MZ-N5E500BW 500 GB. I have installed it but the motherboard will no longer detect my Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E500 500 GB drive. It does not show up in the BIOS. My Windows is installed on the MZ-75E500 drive, so now I can boot to Windows.

In the BIOS under Advanced\Onboard Devices Configuration I have even tried to set the PCIEX4_3 Slot(black) Bandwidth to X4 Mode, but to no avail.

I really hope someone can help me out here.

Cheers,
Helldir

Hi again,

Found it in the motherboard manual that when the M.2 is operating in SATA mode, SATA ports 1 and 2 are disabled 😛 😮
