I'm having an issue with brand new NUC5i5RYH. I cannot get the SSD M.2 drive to be recognized in BIOS or by Windows 8.1 or 7 install flash drive. UEFI BIOS shows: Boot Drive Order: No Boot Drive. I have triple check installation in NUC and there doesn't seem to be much that could go wrong. However, it seems odd that that SSD M.2 card has 2 small cut outs (B+M keyed), while the NUC M.2 connector has a single notch and seems designed for M keyed. I though M.2 could accept both M and B+M keyed, or do I have that wrong? I broke down and called Intel support and they think the SSD is defective, though I bought everything new for this build. Am I missing something in BIOS or should I try new SSD M.2?
Thanks

Configuration: (planning to use as HTPC, streaming from NAS)
NUC5i5RYH
- RAM just fine - Corsair 2x4GB, 1866Mhz, DDR3L, model- CMSX8GX3M2B1866C10
- SSD, problem - Samsung SSD 850 EVO M.2, 120GB, model - MZ-N5E120BW
PS. I have decided to return Samsung 850 EVO SSD and purchase something off the Test Peripherals list, probably Intel SSD 530 series - 180 GB SSDSCKGW180A401
