Question:



Why my Linux Mint 19 does not see my (Windows) NVMe drive?



I read on ArchWiki:




The Linux NVMe driver is natively included in the kernel since version 3.3. NVMe devices should show up under /dev/nvme*.




However, I have no device under /dev/nvme*.




Disk drives - Screenshot from Windows - Speccy Free:

I have rebooted into Linux now, and am ready to investigate further.




I just installed nvme-cli package and this is its output:



$ nvme list

          The culprit was in the RAID mode



          If you switch, with special caution, to AHCI mode, it will show up in Linux.



          The how-to switch to AHCI is out of scope of this site, refer to my answer on SuperUser.



          I am not sure why Windows requires that procedure, but I have read it on multiple places, so I believe it is necessary.



          On the contrary, Linux does not need any preceding configuration.
