XPS 8950, SATA M.2 compatibility
I installed a WD SATA III M.2 2280 in the empty slot and its not detecting there is a drive installed. Do the XPS 8950 require a specific <.2?
WD Blue 3D NAND 250GB Internal PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, M.2 2280, Up to 550 MB/s - WDS250G2B0B
That is the one i installed.
Thanks
Dave

@Davetrue78 The problem could be that your M.2 SSD is a SATA SSD, not an NVMe SSD. The Setup and Specifications say that an M.2 2280 SSD should have an interface type of PCIe Gen4.0x4 NVMe, up to 64 Gbps.

That makes sense.
Thanks!
