I just built up a brandnew System:
Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Master MB,
Samsung 930 M.2 1TB SSD
32GB Intel Optane Module
6TB WD SSD
Goal is to accelerate the secondary WD drive with Optane
Windows 10 fresh installed, everything GPT formatted
BIOS Setting as required:
All BIOSes and Drivers are highest Version.
Tried first with Gigabyte deliverd drivers, same result as with newest Intel drivers.
BIOS Settings are:
CSM Support disabled
Use RST Legacy OROM disabled
SATA Mode is INTEL RST...
PCIe Port is "RST controlled" for the Optane Modules port.
Tried out all three M.2. Slots available
Cleaned drive with diskpart
Followed all hints and tips here in the forum. Always the same result.
The module is recognized by disk manager, and by the RST application as a PCIe SSD but cannot be activated as an Optane module
I have no idea how to proceed now.
Any ideas welcome!

Ok, fought this problem for almost a week, and 20 minutes after i write this it is solved:
I repeated the Installation, and as a final step I "diskpart" - cleaned and reformatted the WD drive, and now it works.
I do not really understand what might have been wrong ( it was "GPT")…. Maybe something in the order I did the things.
