Hi. Hi. I bought Crucial SSD MX300 525GB and its not recognized in UEFI. Only HDD Toshiba is recognized 500GB. I tried other sata cable ( unplug from HDD ) and its fine and SSD is visible. So sata cable faulty or mobo? My mobo is Asus Z370 Pro Gaming. Thanks for help.

I have only 2 sata cables with mobo thats all.Trying changing port to other and the same issue.
All sata ports,sdd not visible. Hdd visible. Unplugging HDD sata cable to SDD,sdd visible but hdd not.
So its possible that sata cable faulty?

If you have a M.2 SSD in a certain slots then certain Sata ports are disabled, they should be listed in your manual.
