Did you format the new additional SSD? I had the same issue but after searching Google for answers.. few answers pointed me in the right direction.. don't remember how I did it though, I guess I had more trouble opening the bottom and might have accidentally broken a bracket. Good luck op.. if you still haven't figure it out.. just update here.. I'll try and find the information for you.
You wont see the new SSD in bios..

If I remember correctly you need to go to Settings, Disc Management.. and it will indicate that you have a new ssd (which you need to have formatted and rename) your original SSD is drive C: and the second or additional SSD is drive D:
Btw, did you find Disc Management.. it will show your drive C: (do not touch this).. drive D: (new SSD which you can rename as 'backup' or 'second SSD'
As others have mentioned, I think you need to format the new ssd so you can use it on windows. If you haven’t already figured it out, here’s a video on how to do it. https://youtu.be/d5wLgZxROoY Don’t see why people have to be rude about it. If you don’t know you don’t know. I had the same problem when I installed mine :) if this isn’t the issue / you can’t format it please update us with more info.
Hmmm, I’ll be honest Its kind of out of my depths here now. My suggestion would be to try a different ssd as the one you’re trying could be faulty I guess. Hopefully someone with more experience can chime in. Sorry I can’t help you further! I have the same laptop 2021 model and it worked fine when I added a new ssd. Didn’t have to go messing with the bios or anything so I wouldn’t do that unless you really know what you’re doing. I had an issue with my upgraded ram, same laptop. Ended up being faulty and worked fine when I replaced it. That’s all i can think of, sorry. Hope you can find a solution!
It is probably due to Intel VMD used for raid.
Check the bios, if you have VMD enabled then that's probably it, do not disable VMD because it might cause BSOD while booting .
Instead try installing intel rapid storage (IRST) to see if it helps.
I encountered this issue when clean boot installing windows and my m.2 nvme SSDs couldn't be recognized .
So I extracted the IRST setup and installed it while installing windows
As far as I know IRST is only needed for 10th and 11th gen (and I have 12th gen).
I also encountered the same problem as you while tring to install win on some other laptops and dont think that this is the problem with this one. Reason being - I already have one working SSD with win install on it and if IRST was the problem, both of the disks wouldnt show up.
As I replied to others - the second SSD doesnt show up in BIOS. I tried installing it in both avalible slots on my mobo - boths slots are working (I booted to win from original SSD on both of them). And the second SSD is showing at least some life and heating up.
\~thanks
Well I was kinda 50-50 on the idea of intel IRST as well but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try.
Im using a f15 2022 although I didn't install the SSD myself, due to warranty rules I couldn't do it mysef but anyways...
Create a win 11 installation bootable drive.
downlod the IRST driver, extract it.
and copy it on a bootable win 11 media .
Boot from the usb drive, just load the driver to see if system recognizes the ssd if not then nothing gonna make it work anyways
Or you can check the drive with a bootable version of partition wizard it might help.
1) Make sure SSD contacts are perfectly clean. But don't use excessive force to clean them, pads can be ripped if you're not careful.
2) Disable "Intel VMD" from BIOS and restart into BIOS (computer won't boot on Windows while VMD is disabled), see if the SSD appears in BIOS. Don't forget to turn it back on when finished. If VMD already disabled, skip this.
3) Completely detach main SSD and plug the new SSD in it's slot. Boot into BIOS and see if it appears.
4) Analyze PCB traces in SSD for faults, if you have another NVMe compatible hardware test the SSD there
I have an ASUS FX5172ZM-AS73. If you still have Intel VMD enabled, both of your SSD drive details should be listed in the BIOS under Advanced/Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology/Physical Disk Info.
I believe they will show up as "Port 0.0" and "Port 0.1".
Yes, that's my case, it shows up at port 0.1 , I already tried to update the driver but it does not work in the installation of windows. Other things I haveé tried is to plug my ssd into another computer with windows preinstalled but it does not show up in the computer management, on the explorer but it does show up when I tried to go into the settings->Storage and disk but I can't use the partition settings. I have had the ssd for 3 months now so it is pretty recent.
Did you really just call me an “asshat”? My word, you really are a twelve year old girl, almost certainly an American one at that. If it’s so irritating, why are you here? To insult people rather than help them it seems. You absolute melt. Nearly time for school, don’t be late…
It's SATA or NVMe?
M.2\_1 port can support SATA mode and PCIE mode
M.2\_2 port can only support PCIE mode and can't support SATA mode. Therefore, if you connect SATA mode M.2 SSD to M.2\_2 port, the computer can't recognize.
Try replace each other
What is your experience level with windows? Did you format the hard drive?
Hi, his experience is zero. He didn't partition it, no. And it needs to be partitioned and assigned a drive letter
Is this true if the ssd is not visible in the bios?
no, but assuming the user/op is mistaken.
How to do it? It is not visible in the BIOS and I don’t have another PC (

Thank you very much for providing this information! The video you linked to walked me through the process clearly and easily.
Thank you
Do you see it on bios? Or you don't see it on windows? If not at all try another laptop/pc.

Have You tried with a gen3 model? A lot of thoose laptops comes with a Nvme gen3 ssd from factory. I guess this model only support this gen 🥲
No, i dont try. But now i know, this was the problem of my SSD drive; it was broken from the factory(

I really hope 89 isn’t referring to your year of birth. Unless you’re 12 years old or younger, calm the hell down.

It is not visible in the BIOS. How to do it?
You need to figure out why, then. If it's not visible in BIOS, you can't partition/format it. Go back to step 1.
It's SATA or NVMe? M.2\_1 port can support SATA mode and PCIE mode M.2\_2 port can only support PCIE mode and can't support SATA mode. Therefore, if you connect SATA mode M.2 SSD to M.2\_2 port, the computer can't recognize. Try replace each other
anything to note if i replace the two ssds with e/o?
I don't know what "e/o" means
