[SOLVED] caddy SSD freezes PC when using it but works fine when using a SATA to USB 3 case

[jeriesnassar17]

I bought a 240gb ssd, and I installed it on my HP laptop using a caddy to use as a secondary storage. the bios detects it and the OS detects it but if I tried to copy something to it, it starts copying then the pc freezes.
I tried formatting the drive but i cant seem to be able to and returns an error, i even downloaded multiple softwares to format it but still cant.
I plugged the device using an ssd case with sata to USB 3.0 and it works fine and i can format it. but using the caddy it does not function well.
what is causing that problem and how can i solve it?

Could be caddy is of poor quality (it contains just a SATA to MiniSATA converter basically to make your SSD attachable to the motherboard port alike the DVD drive once attached to it)

Agreed with R0GG. Caddys might not provide a good socket connection or the electrical engineering of it is so bad that signaling is crap and introducing transmission errors.

So I just tried the caddy with an old hdd 500gb I had, and it worked very fine with the caddy and no problems occurred. So im not sure if the caddy is of poor quality as you said.

so now i dont know why is it doing that just with ssd plugged in it and not the hdd. do you have any idea what could be causing this?

So after updating my BIOS and updating intel rapid storage technology driver it worked and the ssd is functioning alright. I guess it was because of that issue. even though i still feel that the ssd is a little bit slow and its R/W speeds are not as I expected.
