Hello, I recently purchased this SSD:

WD_Black 1TB SN750 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD - Gen3 PCIe, M.2 2280, 3D NAND - WDS100T3X0C

which I thought was compatible with the Nitro5 model I have (AN515-54), but when I install it in the free PCIe slot, I don't see it show up in the Device Manager.

Did I get the wrong kind of SSD? I have tried to re-seat it a few times but no luck so far.

Thanks!

    @JonJonJon Also keep in mind, when adding a new hard disk to the laptop for the very first time, you would need to import it under disk management. Only then it would be visible under your hard disks.

    Can you see it in BIOS?

    I didn't think to check BIOS. I'll give it a shot. If I don't see it there, should I assume its not compatible?

    Pretty much yes. Any hard disk that is compatible should be visible in the BIOS.

    Thanks @sri369 , I re-seated the SSD one more time, saw it in BIOS, the finally saw it in device manager. I appreciate the extra info to import the new disk drive under disk management. I'm all good to go now!
