M.2 SSD in N41 Gemini

BIOS does not recognize my Transcend 512GB SSD card.

Anyone have any clue what to do? I did go into the BIOS setup menu (after many false attempts; finally got there through ESC), but didn't see any obvious settings to enable the slot.

Love this computer -- one of the snappiest boxes I've ever had, uses microscopic amounts of power, lovely thing. But it would be nice if I could get the SSD drive working.

The SSD is, by the way a Transcend TS512GMTS430S, SATA III.

What type of SSD are you using? Our N41 supports M.2 SATA3 protocol SSD, does not support PCIe and Nvme, please check the SSD type you purchased.

In general, the new hard drive needs to be formatted when it is first used and will be automatically formatted if the system is installed inside.
