I recently installed a new NVMe drive and have been struggling to get my system to recognize it. The system is running Windows and this drive is meant to be an additional one for storage. I've already checked the BIOS settings and reseated the drive, but it still doesn't show up in Disk Management or BIOS. My other M.2 slot is blocked by my GPU, and since the new drive is GEN 4, it's currently installed in the appropriate slot. I'm at a loss for what to try next!

We should know the make and model of your motherboard, as different boards have various limitations. It’s possible that if one port is occupied, it could disable another slot.
Certain drives come with specific management apps, like Samsung's Magician, to help with updates and drivers. If yours has such an application, it might be worth looking into that.
Have you considered checking if your motherboard needs a firmware update? Sometimes updating the firmware can resolve detection issues with new components.
I found a helpful video that might guide you through troubleshooting, but it sounds like you might need something more specific since your drive isn't detected at all. Did you take a look at the manufacturer's website for support?
