SSD not showing up in disk management
Just installed a Samsung 870 QVO and it's not showing up in my disk management but i can see it in BIOS and it shows up in my storage pool. Any tips?

Hello @maciasm1098 and thanks for posting on the Microcenter Community forum. This should be a SATA SSD, have you tried connecting SSD in each of your motherboard's Sata ports? I"m assuming your board has at least 6 sata ports?

Windows automatically added the drive to your storage pool. Doesn't sound like this is what you wanted, so I would go into storage pools and remove the Samsung 870 QVO. Once you do so, you'll be able to see it in disk management.

Response to TSTDavey: tried all ports, same results
Response to TSMikeW: tried that and it’s not letting me remove it from the pool -
Needs to be prepared for removal. Try via control panel. Windows + R and type: Control
Go to System and Security - Storage Spaces. The drive should appear there, and there should be an option to "Prepare for removal". This could take some time.
-
Delete the pool, which appears to be just the new drive. Then see if you can remove it. The alternative would be to remove it with the Set-PhysicalDisk cmdlet via powershell.
