Question I just bought a 1TB ssd that will not show up in disk management.

[Bertson]

they don't show up in my windows 10 custom made pc. now have two 1TB ssd that do not show up sort of. . they don't show in "This PC"/devices and drives....or in Disk management. They are seen in "device manager"/disk drives. they call them a just a "disk drive" and all I can do is update their drivers; not initialize nor format. That way, I gather, they would show up in disk management. and my drivers for them are all uptodate. I saw them in "storage spaces" too, but not as "named drives" and after I combined them in that program they still don't show up as a Drive you can move files' so I changed them to not show up in storage spaces.

once you remove them from storage space. go back to disk management and assign a drive letter to the ssd

 

[mdd1963]

I'd avoid Storage Spaces if possible, personally; it still has a bad reputation for the not-infrequently-enough 'I've lost all my data!'-syndrome rearing it's head just enough to still not quite be trusted in the enterprise world...; despite a new name, new clothes, and a fancy tie, ....it's still WIndows RAID.

rgd1101.....they still are not showing up in disk management.

 

[rgd1101]

what exact do you mean by "so I changed them to not show up in storage spaces. " did you delete the pool and remove the disk from the pool or something else?

 

[Bertson]

I thought there was only one way to change them from being used in storage spaces ...so I think I just deleted them in storage spaces they don't show up in there any more .they have always showed up in the Device manager/disk drives but have never showed up in disk management.

List your computer specs/model everything.

Definitely needs your PC specs here and which OS you are running. This could be an issue with the Sata controller being to old, wrong/old driver/wrong mode... or simply incompatible.

It could also be an issue with Windows not reading the drive properly (8 & 10). Try using Easeus partition master. It usually works with all SSD's

This computer was all new in march of 2017. I operate Windows 10 reinstalled new with the new motherboard.

motherboard: 1151: mATX DDR4: H110M ECO: MSI serial # 601-7994-020B1701002128
CPU: 1151: 7600 : INTEL
the operating SSD :2.5" : 275GB : SATA3 : MX300 Series : CT275MX300SSD1 : Crucial
RAM : Desktop DDR4 :8GB/KIT : PCI :17000 CT2K4G4DFS8213

THEN ON MARCH 26/2017 I UPGRADED THE VIDEO TO ; PCI-E : NVIDIA : GTX 1050 TI 4G OC
AND A NEW SSD; 2.5" : 1TB : SATA3 : Solid State Blue : WDS100T2BOA ; this drive has never shown up which prompted me to buy the second drive. all three are hooked up.

AND ON MARCH 20/2019, I JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER SSD: 2.5" : 1TB : SATA3 BarraCuda : Seagate : ZA1000CM10002

I installed these last 2 purchases myself with OTV Technologies building the main part of this computer.

What can this Easeus data recovery wizard. trial offer; do for me , I did try it and it scanned to find 2 different "lost Partions " of 931.50gb each but do I have to purchase this program for it to actually repair or just what does it do?

 

[Bertson]

So, my son came by and he ended using AOMEI Partion Assistant standard edition. With that he was able to get the Seagate ssd to be my D drive. but we still can't get the Blue to be seen.

 

[popatim]

Does the blue show up in the bios?

 

[Bertson]

I think it did....but....i can not power up my computer today😫 I used it on Saturday and put it to sleep like I always do....today is the first time I tried to use it since..

 

[karenjoly]

Sons, yeah, you gotta love'em.

 

[KiLLxTreme]

i don't know if you fix you issue already or not , but for me the solution was change the ssd M.2 port, the ultra don't recognize my ssd but the normal one does.
