Checking specific HW information

I've been racking my brain trying to find certain information in an extremely limited BIOS, and then it occurred to me that I might be able to just sift through a command output.

I'm trying to figure out if my M.2 SSD slot is enabled or not--it's SATA-3. What would be the best way to narrow the scope of information? Using hwinfo or lshw? The motherboard has 2 hdd connectors and 1 optical drive connector (all SATA), and then 1 M.2 SSD connector; so I'm guessing I may be able to do some deductive reasoning to figure out if it's enabled or not. Or is there a better way? Any feedback is appreciated!
