hi there, 

 

i am having an issue recognising an SSD which is installed on a PCIe card. i bought this card online hoping to load my OS onto an SSD and boot from PCIe rather than slower SATA2. i know the nvme boot would not work hence old fashion SSD way. please see the pics below:

the computer does not recognise the SSD (neither the old HDD is the pic above). currently as shown in the pics i just chucked an old 2.5" HDD in there and since the card had a SATA port i am using it via SATA connection which is not the way card is intended to be used surely.

 

is there anything that need to be set in BIOS so computer detect the PCIe hard drive? 

 

many thanks
