Windows 10
SSD in question: Silicon Power 2TB A58 SSD
Docking Bay: Sabrent EC-HD2B Dual Bay Docking Station
I already have a 1TB A58 that I've used with the exact same docking bay, and it worked perfectly fine, but when I try to use the 2TB one, various functions on my PC fail to work.
So when I first got it, I tried to quick format it so I could partition the drive. So I used windows disk manager and started formatting. After about 5 hours, I figured that it wasn't working properly so I cancelled the format. From there, I tried to use Diskpart in cmd, but when I did "list volume/disk" it'd hang forever (until I turned the docking bay off). Afterwards I went back to disk management and it wouldn't open and only said in the bottom left "Connecting to virtual disk service" (until I turned off the docking bay). Afterwards I tried restarting my PC to see if that did anything and it hung (until I turned the docking bay off). Tried checking for viruses using windows defender, it hung. I tried formatting using a third part software, it hung. Opening my PC after a shutdown hangs it. Trying to boot from a windows USB (to use cmd or open disk management) doesn't work if I have the docking bay on at any point. The other SSD still works perfectly fine in windows explorer when I have both in the same bay. Though when I try to open to bad SSD in windows explorer it completely dies, and it takes my taskbar with it.
I suspect something about the SSD is corrupted, but I can't return it. Nor can I format it to get rid of the corruption since anything trying to read the data gets killed. If there's a way to do a full format without anything reading the SSD that'd be much obliged. Or being able to fix the problem another way is even more obliged.
