Unusable SSD?

Hi, I bought a second ssd for my build (my main one being a nvme) and realised that it doesn’t show in the boot priority but does show as connected via sata in the BIOS. In windows it is only visible in device manager under disk drives. I’ve tried using disk part commands but the drive doesn’t show up as an option to create a partition for. Anyone know how to fix this?

I'd definitely suspect its faulty.

Router:  Quotom-Q555G6-S05 running pfSense WiFi: Zyxel NWA210AX (~940Mbit peak)

Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, Netgear MS510TXPP, Netgear GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen VDSL (~74Mbit) + VOXI 4G [Vodafone] (~120Mbit) + Three 5G (~500Mbit average)

We had a similar  problem  earlier this day: 

Maybe this will help you ;)

 

But can you show us the full screen cap from disk management?

Tried uninstalling IDE ATA controllers but it didn't work.

And here is the full disk management (only showing my nvme m.2 ssd)

Alright.... you have the newest bios updates?

Then I guess the drive is dead...

Do you have an other system to test on?

I have updated the BIOS before I bought this drive and no I have no other system, only a laptop. I only just bought it a few days ago therefore I am able to return it as it says I can if the item is faulty. Thanks for the help anyway.

yeah... then return it and get a new one. Report back once you have the new drive ;)
