I have an old mobo EVGA P55 SLI Micro E652, and well old pc but it still works fine. Recently I decided to upgrade to a 500 gig sd so it can have windows 10 on it and the two games I play mainly. Now my first step was to unplug all hdds and ssds and put in the new ssd and install windows via usb. Right away I got a 4th Master hard disk error but I went to bios, exited and took me to installation so I didn't pay much attention to the error. When I tried to select the SSD as the install location it gave me further errors such as "this device might not be compatible with your hardware" and "windows cant be installed on this device".
I followed some guides on youtube, some required some cmd stuff, others to change some things in the bios but that didn't work for me. I then loaded my hdd with the new ssd as storage and the first time it let me open the drive like normal, so I tried to clone my HDD to it and that failed, it just would not progress, kept getting stuck at the trimming proccess and when I disabled that, it still just got stuck. It also at times suddenly would say the new ssd cant be located so I had to restart and sometimes it would say its corrupt.
All kinds of issues that I just couldn't handle it and decided to return it and get a new one, but now im worried maybe its my pc and not the ssd, but at the same time I swapped out other hdds and another small ssd i have and those worked fine, but the new ssd continued to give me the same hard disk error upon boot up.
Below is the SSD I bought and have returned and getting shipped a new one tommorow, did I do something wrong ? Did I overlook a simple task to fix it or maybe its just really broken, any thoughts?
