Question M.2 NVME SSD Enclosure not showing up under devices and drives.

[helpmeow]

Hello I recently purchased a UGREEN M.2 NVME enclosure and a Silicon Power 2TB (UD90) NVME SSD, and installed it correctly but for some reason when I plug it in no drive shows up.

Enclosure: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09T97Z7DM
SSD: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0B996CJ64

I can see the device under Device Manager. But I don't see anything when I open up Disk Management.

Can anyone help?

Thank you!

Unplug it, plug out back in, wait a few seconds and rescan for discs.

Also are you using a hub or plugging it in directly?

In Device Manager, under tab Volumes hit Populate and see what it says, probably not formatted.

It would still show in Disk Management as an uninitialized/unformatted drive if that was the case.

I would say one or the other device is bad, or you didn't quite properly seat the drive in the enclosure's slot. In Disk Management, do you see anything like "Disk 3 Removable D: Online" but without a capacity, in the lower half of the display? This is what happens when you plug in an enclosure with no SSD installed.

Also:

Try another known working NVME SSD in the enclosure.

However, there is some risk in that if the enclosure is faulty and corrupting hosted SSDs.

Consider the NVME to be "sacrificial"should the worst happen.

Backup as warranted.
