Can my CPU support a second ssd ?

Hello,

I have an issue with my second ssd which doesn't want to show up in my bios. I called the person who crafted my computer and he told me my i5 10400F can' t support 2 SSD because he doesn't have enough PCle lines. Is it true ? Because I asked to chatgpt (ik it s not the best but i wanted to be sure) and he told me it was false. Moreover when I go in my bios to see informations from slots, the second one's statue is N/A in my gigabyte bios. Does anyone know if I can solve this without buying new stuff ? 

 

Thanks

Your 10400F supports 16 PCI Express Lanes, the remainder of the Express Lanes come from the motherboard chipset. So it is an issue of motherboard configuration. What model of Gigabyte motherboard do you have. Do you have a graphics card, if so which one.
