Hi -

I don’t see my SSD in disk management.

OS: Windows 10  
MB: MSI B450M Pro-M2

The drive is connected to the M.2 port. I made sure I had the latest drivers.

WDS100T2B0B shows up in device manager…

…but doesn’t show up in disk management.

Went to **Windows or macOS Cannot Find My Drive** (answer 12455) and instructions said the drive needed to be formatted.

Then went to **How to Partition and Format a WD Drive on Windows and macOS** (answer 8200) and instructions said that I need to format the drive using Disk Management. The answer suggested the drive might not be initialized.

I also checked **How to initialize or write a signature to a secondary hard drive or Solid State drive in Windows** (answer 18824), which describes how to initialize the drive with Disk Management.

How do I get Disk Management to recognize the drive?

Thanks

So the ssd was not compatible with the motherboard slot it was in. I had to purchase a new ssd that was compatible.
