3060 Optiplex Micro SATA problems
Ok, so I see I have an M2 256GB hard drive in the SATA-1 part of the computer. Ive taken it out and Im trying to install a 1TB SSD in the SATA-0 part of the computer. Ive converted the new 1TB SSD to GPT and formatted. In BIOS, I have turned OFF "Secure Boot Mode" and turned on "AHCI". Apply, Exit, hit F12 and boot to flash drive to install my OS via Acronis.
Bios and Acronis does not see anything in SATA-0. Simple question.....HOW can I make this possible?
I work in IT and have been working on these things since the 360 Optiplex days and have never been so stumped. Thanks for any response.

Have a look at the following as it may be of some help.

Sorry, thats not it.
Most importantly than Acronis, the Dell BIOS needs to see the SSD hard drive and it doesnt. I have an Optiplex 3050 that sees the 1TB hard drive perfectly in BIOS, but on the 3060, they do not see the hard drive at all.
It just feels like the 3060 computer was made for M2 drives specifically and not SSD. I need to tell it otherwise.
