Samsung 850 evo not in disk manager

[Timmmaahh]

Hey so I had an issue with my samsung 850 evo, it wouldnt write anything to it. It's under warrenty, sent it in, within 4 days they "fixed it" and sent it back. It apparently passed all of their tests.

Went to go pop it in, and my computer cannot detect it. At all. I have my M.2 installed. My A drive (500GB 850) and my B drive (1TB 850)

How do i get my computer to detect it when its not showing up in disk manager? I built my computer so i know i have to format it to get it to work....... but if it doesnt even show in disk manager what then???

Please show us a screencap of your Disk Management.

Does this drive show in the BIOS?
Possibly you just need to Initialize it.

not sure how to even imbed pictures on this site

EDIT: ive checked my bios and i cannot find where to initialize new SSD. It will allow me to wipe them, and even then it isnt showing up at all. I have the gigabyte X99 SLI motherboard

Show the whole Disk Management window.

To imbed, take that imgur URL and stick it between [im g] [/im g] tags.


EDIT: Initialize would happen inside Disk Management.
EDIT2: But it it's not appearing in the BIOS, either it is broken, or not connected properly.

Well i just got it back from samsung's RMA department. They apparently fixed it. Where would i even look to find and initialize it in the BIOS? There isnt like a drop down from any of the tabs that give me that option

No...Initialize happens in Disk Management.

Does the BIOS show that it is connected?
Does it appear in Device Manager?
Does Disk Management show it?

no to all of those. It doesnt show up anywhere

no to all of those. It doesnt show up anywhere

Then its probably one of these:
Bad cable
Bad SATA port on the motherboard
Bad drive

Try another data cable, power cable and USB port
