Pstark Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Today I got a new 8TB WD RED drive and an Icy Dock 5 Bay cage and I started a pre clear on the new drive and went to main tab to monitor the temps and while they are fine, I also noticed that my m.2 drive is no longer listed. It is indeed still installed but no listed. What gives? I shut it down and removed all the drive connections to see if that caused it but still not showing. I looked in the bios and with all drives connected, none are listed. Does anyone that knows more than me know what could cause this? All 5 spinning discs show in UNRAID but not the M.2 and none show in the bios. tower-diagnostics-20220119-2152.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Is the M.2 device SATA or NVMe? If SATA it will share one of the 6 SATA ports. Quote Link to comment

It’s an NVME drIve. This is why I unplugged all the SATA drives to see if the MB was using those lanes for the SATA ports. Also when I go to the bios, should the m.2 be set to optane or m.2 genie?

JorgeB Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 NVMe doesn't share lanes with SATA, this is the problem: Jan 19 21:37:36 Tower kernel: ahci 0000:00:17.0: Found 1 remapped NVMe devices. Jan 19 21:37:36 Tower kernel: ahci 0000:00:17.0: Switch your BIOS from RAID to AHCI mode to use them. Quote Link to comment

A couple weeks ago I changed the m.2 bios setting from AHCI to optane to see if it would solve a different issue. When I noticed the drive missing I attempted to change it back but for some reason the setting won’t stick. I change it to back to AHCI then save and exit then go back in to verify and find it still says optane. I will look into it more over the weekend. Quote Link to comment
