Hi, 
I tried upgrading my boot drive, with an NVME card, before I installed it I had a slower solid state and 2, 14 TB Seagate Harddrives working just fine. I installed the NVME, updated the EVGA drivers and Windows completely, only for the drives to not show up in disc management. I see in the EVGA motherboard Z390 FTW Bios the slots are lit up but say they are empty. Is there a specific setting I need to use in order for the EVGA to see my large hard drives? Thanks.

    What M.2 slot did you use and what SATA ports are you using for your HDDs?  If you used the top M.2 Slot, then SATA ports 4/5 are disabled.  From the manual:
     
    M.2 Slot Breakdown
    M.2 Lane Distribution
     
     M.2 Key-M (80mm, Top) – x4
        o M.2 Enable/Disable is set within the BIOS
        o This M.2 Key-M slot shares lanes with SATA ports 4/5. Installing an M.2 device will disable SATA ports 4/5.
     
     M.2 Key-M (110mm, Bottom) – x4
        o M.2 Enable/Disable is set within the BIOS
     
     M.2 Key-E (32mm) – x1
        o M.2 Enable/Disable is set within the BIOS
