    My BIOS shows my 950 Pro as well, however, it still doesn't show up as a slave drive. Any ideas?

    Did you keep it in RAID mode or switch it to ACHI?

    On my AW17, if in bios I put RAID I see them, if I put AHCI in bios can not see, but it works the same without problems.

    Ciao :)

    That's odd then, because mine is on RAID in BIOS, it's recognized as the m.2 SSD being there, but it does not show up as a slave drive or even detected when I try to install Windows on the m.2 SSD.
    Update: I've figured it out...something so simple, right under my nose. I've updated the thread on this.
