    I have two 500GB Samsung 850 Evo's running the same latest firmware.

    SLOT0 = Drive 1 6GB/s ~ 850 Evo 1 Here
    SLOT2 = Drive 3 3GB/s ~ Empty
    SLOT1 - Drive 2 6GB/s ~ 850 Evo 2 Here

    No matter what I do, one of the Evo's (in SLOT1) will not be recognized when I have BOTH SSDs connected. If I remove one, they individually work fine. I even put in my 840 Pro with a single 850 Evo and they both worked, but whenever I put in two 850 Evo's one won't be recognized?

    I had 2x256GB Lite-On SSDs in RAID0 before perfectly fine, so it's only an issue with this 850 set-up.

    Has anyone experienced this and know what it could be?
