February 6, 20242 yr Hi, I've just installed a new Ceacent CNS44PE16 PCIe3.0 X16 U2 expansion card. And hooked up 3X U.2 Drives. The motherboard is setup to bifurification 4x4x4x4x for the specific PCIe slot, I can see the card in system devices, but for whatever reason, the drives are not showing up in unassigned devices. Can't see the drives in the Boot BIOS since the motherboard BIOS doesn't natively support NVME drives. Wondering if I am missing something? Or any advice would be great Edited February 8, 20242 yr by hydkrash remove attachment
February 6, 20242 yr Community Expert Probably not the issue, but bifurcation should be disabled, the controller splits an x16 slot.
February 7, 20242 yr Author That's exactly what I thought. Even with bifurcation disabled, for whatever reason the 3 U.2 hdd are still not showing up.
February 8, 20242 yr Author I figured out what's wrong. It was the 4 SFF8654 cables. For whatever reason they were AA Direct cables. I never knew that was even a thing. So for anyone, make sure your buying the right type of SFF8654 to SFF8654 cables. Placed an order for a new set of cables, and fingers crossed it should work once I get them replaced.
