Hello. I would like to apologise for my english at the beggining.
Some time ago i bought V-NAND SSD 970 EVO Plus NVMe M.2 drive and plugged it into M.2 sockets in my motherboard (Asus Prime Z270-p motherboard) and used it as storage drive. Yesterday i decided that its time to move my windows from hdd to ssd but after trying to migrate OS / copy drive i have just went with the clean installation.
I was trying my best to install clean windows 10 on my ssd drive but after installation from pendrive i couldnt boot the windows on it. It was always visible when selecting destination drive in windows installer, the problems were in BIOS because it was not recognised there. After messing with BIOS settings i have decided to plug in the ssd into one SATA cable (i had few ziptied alongside with eachoter so i thought its just extra spare cables to use) when i plugged it and turned my PC it immidiately shut down. I couldnt turn it on, only after plugging it out of power source and removing ssd from SATA cable. After that not only my BIOS doesnt recognise the ssd but also the windows instalator which displayed it everytime. Also my SSD doesnt get hot or even warm after i plug it in into M2. sockets in my motherboard. Does that mean the ssd is toased and i cant use it for anything? (I am still hoping it is caused by some BIOS setting that i switched but that hope is fading away ;/) Also i cant check it with different machine cus i have only one PC. Is there some other way to check if the ssd is faulty?
If its indeed burnt, do you think i can use some other ssd than samsung v-nand 970 evo plus? I really would like to switch from hdd to something faster but i am afraid i will have the same windows installation problems.
