Greetings Gentlemen and -women,
a couple of years ago I purchased the VN7-792G-798L and it served me well. Didn't regret that decision ever since.
Now, as the good machine has come to some age I decided to give it a facelift instead of replacing the whole system and added some RAM and bought a new SSD, a Samsung 970 EVO Plus with 500Gigs.
The problem is: the RAM works well but the SSD doesn't get recognized by the BIOS. I did some hours of research now and but I couldn't find the reason for that particular issue.
The specs: my Laptop has the motherboard NB.G6R11.004 (Bios 1.8, UEFI enabled) and had a Toshiba SATA III (M+B Key) SSD preset. I feared that I bought the mainboard would support only SATA III SSDs and not my 970 EVO Plus, which I bought without further doubt that my Notebook would get along with it. So I looked at the M.2-Port and found that it is an M-Key-Slot. According to the internet, only PCIe-Ports use the M-Key... so it should fit, shouldn't it?
To my surprise, my wife's E5-575G-56ED _does_ recognize the 970 EVO Plus and she is enjoying the benefits of the surplus speed my new purchase brought to her.
I am absolutely clueless why the SSD doesn't get recognized.
I would be really gratefull if someone here were able to help me.
Thank you in advance.
