Product: HP 280 G3 Microtower PC

Hi,

I recently purchased a Western Digital SN570 SSD for my HP 280 G3 MT desktop. However, I discovered that there isn't an M.2 slot on the motherboard. To address this, I subsequently purchased an M.2 NVMe to PCIe x1 adapter, hoping it would resolve the issue. After installing both components, I observed that power is indeed reaching the adapter (the LED is on). Unfortunately, the BIOS is unable to detect the M.2 SSD.

I've already double-checked the compatibility of the components and ensured they are seated properly. However, I have not had any success thus far.

Here's a summary of what I've attempted:

  • Verified compatibility and seating of components.
  • Rechecked all connections.
  • Attempted to use a different PCIe slot.

Despite these efforts, I have not been able to have the SSD recognized by the system.

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue or do you have any suggestions for troubleshooting steps that I might have overlooked? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
