    Are you sure that drive is even supported? That slot looks like an NVMe slot. Notice how there’s no plastic bump in the socket on the left of the drive. And there are pins in that slot area that are not touching any contacts on your drive.

    I imagine some motherboards will support both SSD and NVMe, but if it supports NVMe, you want an NVMe drive. They are much faster. And since you said you can’t see the drive in BIOS, your motherboard very likely only supports NVMe.
