ASUS B550-f Gamining wifi not detecting new SSDs

[frustrated_89]

I have a B550-f Gaminig wifi motherboard and I am trying to replace some existing 1tb SSDs with newer 2tb SSDs. Unfortunately, none of the newer 2tb SSDs are being recognized by my system and the BIOS shows that nothing is connected to the SATA ports. All drives are 6gbit/s SATA drives. I have tried the following:

1. Power and sata cables are known good as they work with the 1tb SSDs without issue. I know that some SATA ports can be disable when certain M.2 slots are in use, this is NOT the issue.

2. Drives are known good as they work perfectly fine in another system (Intel system with 10th gen CPU)

3. Tried enable CSM, no impact (expected as newer drives are only a few years old)

4. Tried resetting the BIOS to defaults, no impact

5. I have not yet tried updating the BIOS, but my current BIOS is from 2023. I did not see any notes about hardware compatibility fixes in the newer versions, but I do plan on attempting an update.

I'm not really sure where to go from here... I know the drives are good and I know the cables are good, so this seems like an issue with the motherboard or firmware/BIOS. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Updating the BIOS did not change the observed behavior... I have also tried using various different SATA ports and the drives are not being recognized still. I, again, put the same drives in another system and they were recognized fine. When I put the old drives back in this system, using the same cables, the old drives were recognized fine.

Hello,

What is the exact make / model of the 2TB drives?

Are they new as in completely blank or did they have some other type of partition / bootloader from a previous OS?

What OS is on the a B550-f Gaminig PC, When in this OS, you mention not detected anywhere, where did you check?
