Question about WD Blue

I ordered the WD Blue 3D NAND (1000GB, M.2 2280) and the Icy Box IB-1817M-C31 - NVMe M.2 (M.2 2230, M.2 2242, M.2 2260, M.2 2280) together. Unfortunately, the WD Blue is not recognised. I still had a SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD (M.2 2280, 1 TB) and I have no problems with it. Now my question is the WD not compatible with the Icy Box.

No, the Icy Box is not compatible with the WD.

The WD is a SATA (= slow) SSD, which is why it was so cheap. However, the Icy Case uses NVMe (= fast), like the Samsung. That is why the combination is not compatible with the WD.
