Dear customer,

Thank you for emailing GIGABYTE.

are you using the samsung 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 SDD

This SSD have its intergrated driver, so that it not showed in the BIOS.

But it would be able to showed by the boot menu when you press F12.

For AMI UEFI BIOS could not set any driver as first  boot driver.

But pressing F12 doesn't show that device. I'm going to return the M.2 SSD.

teknology9:
Hi,
Have you informed that the NVMe drive still does not show? It may be worth asking if they can provide you with a BIOS update that will show the drive. I updated my BIOS on my current motherboard and the NVMe drive showed up, but on an earlier BIOS version  the NVMe drive did not. I think the issue was passed from their 1st line support to the department that creates the BIOS.

It might be worth asking and just informing them what has happened.

Hope this helps.

The gaming 7 was was of the few Z97 based boards with m.2 support.  Support for m.2 didn't become mainstream until the Z170.

A good SSD will provide excellent performance with the Z97 and won't require any BIOS, which I doubt Gigabyte would deliver.  The chipset is done (released Q2 2014).  I still have a Z97 based system that works well, but investing any time or $$$ into trying to make it "better" isn't worth it.

Its possible a non-NVMe m.2 would work, but again, unless you have one laying around, buying one is not practical.  Of course this is up to you if you want to pursue.
