Salam guys. So I got myself a NVME SSD (Western Digital Sn550) with the help of a PG member (great, friendly guy. Don't get the wrong idea ffs) and my mobo can't detect it. Since the mobo is new, I'm inclined to think the SSD is DOA. So I asked the guy and he told me that there is a 30 day return policy for newegg but there is no shipping option since no one accepts electronics shipping here. We live in Karachi btw. I also tried opening an RMA ticket on the main site and asking WD to help us but it says RMAs are disabled, dunno why prolly because of this whole covid mess I guess. Any options left?

Also I don't have anyone with an NVME mobo in my circle but if anyone lives near me and is willing to check the ssd out on their PC, I'd be grateful. I live in North Karachi. Thanks.

Did u checked may be the Nvme/M2 option is disabled in Bios.

Or sometimes when your using 4 to 6x Sata slots/devices/Hard Disks on mobo, then you have to disable atleast 2 Sata ports of the mobo in bios usually no 5 and 6 for Nvme or an M2 SSD to work.

I don't think it's DOA you're probably not configuring something properly.

Yeah I actually did all that. I have a MSI B450 Tomahawk. There is no option to enable M2 in the bios though, have confirmed it in the manual and on the net as well. I have only 2 SATA ports occupied at 1 and 2. I've tried removing them as well with just the NVMe installed but doesn't work.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
