I just upgraded from a 6700k with a Crucial MX500 M.2 SATA SSD to a 7800x3D on an ASRock B650i. I also bought a TeamGroup MP34 NVME to go with the build since the motherboard has two M.2 slots.
My plan was to keep windows on the MX500 until I can transfer my files to the new TeamGroup SSD, then reformat it and use it as storage. I installed the TeamGroup SSD in the front socket and the MX500 at the back of the motherboard. The TeamGroup SSD is the only one recognized in the bios so I had to install windows on it which was no problem but when I went to My PC, I could only see the TeamGroup SSD and no other drives. Is this because there's some incompatibility issue with it being in the back? I would like to find out before having to take it apart and swapping them.
If the issue is that I can't use the SSD with this motherboard, would I be able to use an M.2 SSD enclosure and connect it via USB to transfer my files? Or would I be locked out because it's a new motherboard?
