Hey all,

 

I have PS5.

I had WD SN850 1TB in it for a while for extra storage. No issues.

I took that SSD out and used it in my PC for a while. No issues.

I put it back into PS5... it doesn't see it at all.

I put it back to PC, it is working fine.

 

Any idea why PS5 would stop seeing it?

Might be refusing to touch it now it's been formatted for PC. Try completely wiping it.

Yeah, I thought of that as well.

I deleted the volume in Disk Manager in Windows and left it like that, but still nothing.

That still leaves some partitioning data on the drive. If you're familiar with it, diskpart clean it. If you're not, be extremely careful as you can easily wipe another drive by mistake. I'm not sure what other options there are to do that.

Hmm.... that is a good idea. I will clean it in disk part and see how it goes.

@porina Did some more digging. Unfortunately, my SN850 is faulty. It is working in Windows but uses 2 out of 4 pcie lanes. Thanks for your help!
