I'm trying to set up a new SATA 1TB SSD alongside my existing m.2 1TB SSD on my Asus motherboard, but the SSD doesn't show up in BIOS or Disk Management no matter which port I use. Does anyone have advice on how to troubleshoot this?

First, check if you're dealing with a 2.5" SATA SSD or an M.2 one. If it's a 2.5" drive, make sure both the power and data cables are securely connected. Sometimes, if they're loose, it won't show up at all. Let me know if this helps!

It's a 2.5" SATA, and I plugged both cables in. The SSD does get warm, so I think it's getting power.
