Hello!
I've been digging through a number of threads since this seems to be a somewhat common issue, but I feel like I've ticked all the boxes in other threads without success. I'm new to TrueNAS, but so far have been having good luck.
I am building this NAS on a 5 year old Dell XPS 8930. I have a 512GB SATA SSD for boot, and 3x4TB in Raidz1 for a pool. After getting things up and running, I added a 2TB NVME Samsung 980 on the motherboard to use as an application pool. At boot, the BIOS detects all 4 SATA drives and the NVME SSD. The motherboard documentation states it's a PCIe 3.0 M.2 slot, and the 980 is a PCIe drive. Nothing is in the PCIe 4 lane slot on the motherboard. There is a graphics card in the 16 lane slot.
In the GUI, the NVME drive does not appear. The only thing listed in "Unassigned Disks" is the on board USB card reader (weird). The connection from the USB reader does feed back into a USB connector on the motherboard. As the BIOS sees all 5 drives, I'm operating under the assumption that I'm not sharing SATA lanes or PCIe in the background, but could I be wrong? The NVME SSD is new in box and wasn't populated with any data beforehand. Thoughts on a troubleshooting path?
Thanks so much!
