Placa mãe não reconhece o ssd m.2. O que fazer?

Introduction

This tutorial addresses the common issue of a motherboard not recognizing an M.2 SSD. If you're experiencing this problem, follow the steps below to troubleshoot and resolve the issue effectively.

Step 1: Check Physical Installation

• Power off your computer and unplug it.
• Open the case and ensure the M.2 SSD is properly seated in the M.2 slot.
• Verify that the screw holding the SSD in place is secure.
• If necessary, remove the SSD and reinstall it to ensure a good connection.

Step 2: Update BIOS

• Power on your computer and enter the BIOS setup (usually by pressing DEL, F2, or F10 during startup).
• Look for an option to update the BIOS in the settings. This may be under a tab labeled "Tools" or "Advanced."
• Follow the prompts to download and install the latest firmware for your motherboard.
• After updating, restart your computer and check if the SSD is recognized.

Step 3: Configure BIOS Settings

• While still in the BIOS, navigate to the storage configuration section.
• Ensure that the M.2 slot is enabled. Depending on your motherboard, this may be listed as “M.2 Configuration.”
• If there are options for the SSD mode (e.g., SATA, NVMe), ensure it is set to the correct mode for your SSD type.

Step 4: Check Compatibility

• Verify that your M.2 SSD is compatible with your motherboard. Check the motherboard's manual or manufacturer's website for supported SSD types and sizes.
• Ensure that your motherboard has the necessary M.2 slot (e.g., M key for NVMe SSDs).

Step 5: Test with Another Computer

• If the SSD is still not recognized, remove it from your current system and test it in another compatible computer.
• This will help determine if the issue lies with the SSD itself or your original motherboard.

Step 6: Use Disk Management

• If the SSD is recognized in BIOS but not in the operating system, boot into Windows.
• Open Disk Management by right-clicking on the Start menu and selecting "Disk Management."
• Look for the unallocated space or the SSD in the list. If it appears uninitialized:
  • Right-click on the SSD and select "Initialize Disk."
  • Choose the partition style (MBR or GPT) and complete the process.

Conclusion

Following these steps should help you resolve the issue of your motherboard not recognizing your M.2 SSD. Always ensure proper installation and compatibility before troubleshooting. If problems persist, consider seeking professional assistance or checking with the manufacturer for support.
