Problem with Samsung SSD

ajgamer1 · December 18, 2017

Hello, I have just installed 2 more SSD i.e.: 2 x 250 GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO

Total Drives Now:

4 x 250 GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO

1 x 1 TB WD Blue (HDD)

But I am facing some problems with it if you could help me with it?

1. Intel Rapid Storage Technology is not showing all the SSDs. It is only showing 3 SSD and 1 WD HDD.

2. Device Manager is showing one of the SSD as SCSI Disk Device.

I have attached the screenshot below, So please check and help.

Maybe you're out of full bandwidth on the sata ports and your motherboard can only handle 4 sata drives? Raid might help to make the 4 250gb ssds recognized as 1 1tb ssd
