When you setup the new M.2 SSD, what volume type and format did you use?

 

Had you considered downloading , installing and using the Corsair SSD  Toolbox utility to test the SSD?

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/s/downloads

 

 

Do you happen to own an NVME PCIe SSD adapter?

 

My MSI MPG X570  motherboard has two built in slots for M.2 SSD, so to use a third M.2 SSD, I purchased an adapter.

 

If that works with your PC, it would mean that the #2 NVMe M.2 slot is faulty. 

 

The adapters are relatively inexpensive.

Thanks for the answer. Not sure if I understand well the first part but it was on NTFS format, but as I said, I couldn't really setup correctly the M.2 SSD. I could only use it when I used it with an USB adapter. I will check the Corsair Toolbox but I'm not sure how much it can be helpful since I can't see at all the SSD right now. I don't have any adapter like the one you mentioned, is it complicated to install it ? I could try to find one and try that... Maybe the second slot is faulty as you said.

The Volume type will be either MBR or GPT.

 

It is not a complicated process to put the SSD on the adapter and install the adapter in the PCIe slot.

Thanks for the answer, the volume type was converted to GPT, I didn't had much time this week but I will try to buy a SSD adapter. Do I need to buy a specific adapter or any can work, if so do you have any recommendations ?
