It's also an NVMe drive. I have a pretty vague idea of how PCI-Express drives work, but don't they go directly to the CPU without any storage controllers? It's more of a IDE/SATA/SAS/whatever thing.

It could be behind something like Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology) or VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU).

Maybe you could turn that off in your BIOS settings if you don't specifically need the feature.
