No compatible disks for intel optane memory

[NBenn2]

I feel like ive tried everything but I can't seem to get my 16gb optane memory module to accept either one of my 1tb mx500 ssd or 2tb hard drive. Everything seems normal in BIOS and everything is configured to enable it but I still can't. I've tried different SATA ports and still nothing. If it means anything special the optane memory shows up as disk 2 in dsk mngr but i havent initialized it (i have my hdd temporarily disconnected aswell). Also the module appears as a NVMe in device manager.

Help would be appreciated.

Hello NBenn2, Thank you for your reply. I was reviewing the screenshot and the SSU log you shared with us and I noticed that the Optane memory is not being detected properly by your system. As part of the troubleshooting, please re-install the Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST). If this does not solve your issue we advise you to check with your OEM Asus* in your case, this in order to check the BIOS settings configuration and the recommended hardware set up. Please let us know the results of this troubleshooting. Best regards, Josh B. Intel Customer Support Technician Under Contract to Intel Corporation
