Crucial BX100, Trouble when formatting. (Various format methods.)

[isac31337]

Hello here is my Hardware Info.

I am having trouble getting my SSD to function properly. I cannot for the life of me format it so I can use it. I've tried many methods including steps listed here. Upon completion I get a message saying the format did not complete successfully. This happens in every method including Windows 10 install.

Firmware is up to date across the board. This is from the manufactures SSD software.

Might be useful to know, when I use Paragon Migration software it tells me there's an I/O error.

If you need any more details I'll be around for a while to get them so i can be helped. Thanks in advance.

And what happens if you install Windows from the Windows DVD?

How are the SATA ports set in BIOS ?
Have you tried formatting the drive in another computer? It may be faulty

Of course the board you have only has SATA 300 ports so an SSD's speed will be capped badly by that anyway

What is your motherboard manufacturer and model? I had issues going to a pair of MX100's, but that was a server board.

Used the working HDD sata's and my problems were solved.

Likely a faulty install by me, because the HDD works with the suspect sata's
