I have an M.2 SSD that I removed out of my laptop and upgraded the one in my laptop with a 512gb samsung evo. The SSD I removed I wanted to be able to use. I bought an enclosure of amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RZBTNTN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I installed the SSD into the above enclosure and the LED of the enclosure woudl turn on when plugged in, however nothing would pop up, I went to format the SSD through windows Hard Disk Partitions, and it would only come back with the error : Critical Hardware Failure.

 

I uninstalled it and put it into my desktop without th eenclosure to see if its the enclosure, and still failure.

 

Did i brick my SSD? any ideas on how to format it?

Not all M.2 ports on mobos support NVME. My Asus Prime x470 Pro doesnt even have NVME in both drive slots if I have a GPU plugged in. 

My First (Current) Build:

Ryzen 7 2700 (3.90 @ 1.35v OC) | Asus Prime X470 Pro | G.Skill Ripjaws V 16gb 3200 | Inland Professional 512gb M.2 NVME | Samsung 860 Evo Sata M.2 1TB | Corsair H115i Platinum | Corsair ML 140 RGB Fans | Fractal Design Meshify C | EVGA RTX 2070 XC Ultra

 

Laptop:

HP Spectre X360 13t Gem Cut (i7 8565u, 240gb, 8gb mem)

 

My Ride:

2015 VW Golf TDI Sportwagen

Eventually an XJ manual...

Other slot doesnt work, I am also having issues with the board reading more than 2 sata drives. It appears as though slot 3-6 are disabled/don't work yet I havent been able to figure out how to fix it. Any ideas on that one?

Might be sata just is having issue. Have you tried a reinstall or using a linux live disk?

Reinstall of bios?

 

and no i havent touched linux yet because ive never used it ?

bios update is probably a good idea

 

You can just boot into a live disk and see if the drive shows up, super simple.
