February 27, 20233 yr I have 2 Samsung 970 EVOs installed on the two onboard M.2 slots on my ASUS X570-Prime that I'm using for my Unraid server that I'm using for cache. Today, I wanted to add 2 M.2 drives for storage. I bought two 2TB Samsung 980 Pros. I had to purchase an ASUS HYPER M.2 Expansion Card for additional M.2 slots through PCIE. I added both drives to the card and plugged the card into one of my PCIE slots. When I power back on the server, only one of the two drives is showing up in the web menu. Any suggestions on how I can get the other drive to show up as well?

You need to bifurcate to 2 separate x4 channels to be able to use 2 drives. The Asus hyper m. 2 does not have an onboard plx switch to bifurcate itself
