Question Adata SU650 won't show up in ASRock UEFI ?

[Eriyl]

Why is my brand new Adata SU650 SSD not detected in my ASROCK H310CM-HDV/M.2 BIOS? I want to install Windows 10 but my computer is unable to detect my new SSD. I only plugged in the said SSD with no other.

The SSD works well in another computer.

Do you have any M.2 drives installed?
If yes, then connect SU650 to a different sata port.

Also make sure, sata controller is set to AHCI mode in BIOS (not Intel RST with Optane).

If M2_1 is occupied by a SATA-type M.2 device, SATA3_3 will be disabled.

I don't think there's M.2 drive(s) installed, because when I checked the status for each sata port, it returns n/a.

Can you show a photo of your system with side panel removed?

Did you check SATA controller mode settings in BIOS?

Here you go. I'm kinda tech-blind over BIOS problems.

Check connections - both ends of data and power cables.
Looks like sata data cable might not be fully inserted in the drive.

Note - to connect /disconnect a drive, pc has to be turned off.
You may also want to disable

SATA aggressive link power management and​

fast boot too.​

​

Are you using a modular PSU?
Note - you can use only original PSU cables from a modular PSU.
Using wrong/incompatible cables can damage/kill components connected.

I've tried changing the connections to another cable and tried to make sure the cables connected but to no avail.

It still returns N/A in the Storage Configuration.

If everything is connected properly and you're using original cables from your PSU and it still doesn't get detected, then
your SSD is dead.

Some backstory for this problem:

I was installing Win10 OS in my previous SSD, same ADATA SU650. After it done I've been using the drive (to copy and extract my needed software) until it almost full, my computer crashed and got shutdown before the percentage on the blue screen got completed to 100%. It made the old one dead, with volume information wiped and can't be detected nor formatted (in another computer). Out of panic I bought the same SSD model, thinking it just needs SSD replacement. And here we are.

Even if it's brand new? It just arrived this morning?

What model PSU are you using?
Can you show info label printed on PSU?
Your PSU might be killing the drives (or you're using wrong modular cables and that is killing your drives).

Here you go. I'm using Infinity 500W PSU, Bronze.

So - it is not a modular PSU. Right?
