Hi @BME2022 second M.2 NVMe card occasionally seen by BIOS can be a bad install of BIOS update, or the M.2 card's electrical engagement wants cleaning and reseating. Intel says BIOS should have default option RAID enabled. The M.2 card format partition should be GPT (not MBR), so that BIOS boot list option UEFI is enabled.
The Alienware m15 R2 is listed in Alienware laptops supported by Dell for Windows 11 - Dell Community, so the BIOS update should see the M.2 NVMe card.
The m15 R2 accepts M.2 PCIe Gen3.0x4 NVMe cards, and Gen4 card would be backwards compatible.
Does Disk Management acknowledge the second NVMe card? Please share image, thanks.
Please share link to the second SSD NVMe's specification, thanks
