Western Digital SSD M.2 2280 not showing up.

Hello, I have recently installed the above SSD and I cannot see it. I think I see it in BIOs but nowhere else.

Have you went to disk management in windows and formatted the drive NTFS? Right click on the windows icon and go to Disk Management. Right Click on drive to format.

Good afternoon @KBear

Thank you for contacting micro center. So what @benjy117 said would be the correct first steps as the drive itself will not be formatted and needs to be initialized. Below is a link that will also help with this.
