Hello,
The SSD (870 EVO/ 1TB) Format: exFat. Connected to my Laptop via USB using the Computer Mode. Its shown up in Windows as P: Prime and also in Engine Prime. I can transfer my Music and Playlists with the Sync Manager everything fine. After ejecting the Prime SSD and go back to Standalone the SSD isnt visible on my Prime 4. My USB Stick with exFat works fine for example.
I checked everthing a few times now and have no clue whats the Problem. Maybe the SATA Cable inside is broken?
yeah i can see everything on the Drive. I connected the SSD now while the Prime 4 was running and it shows me the error that its the wrong format. On my Laptop its exFat which makes no sense to me. Somehow i cant fromat the Drive with Windows itself only in NTFS. I used 2 Programs like AOMEI already.
Just to confirm here, there is only one partition on the SSD you are using for the Prime4?
When you used Aoemi, did it take a while to format? If not, it’s probably just doing a quick format. It’ll take about 5-10 minutes for a full format on a 1TB Samsung SSD.
You can also attempt completing a full wipe using Samsung Magician.
OK, my PC thinks its a local storage and not an external drive. But i found nothing in BIOS to configure my USB Hubs. I formated the SSD in exFAT/MBR and it tooks about 20 mins with Windows.
EDIT: The USB STICK on my Prime Works fine and its removable. Its using the same USB Cable ofc.
USB A to USB B 3.0. I have also no Problems with the Disk in Engine Prime or Windows. I can sync. Songs/Playlists… But my Prime 4 only detect the USB Stick under Sources.
Because the SSD is not removable somehow.
Windows will see any drive connected via a SATA bus as an internal drive regardless of if it has a USB host bus in between them or not. This should not be related to your issue.
Download Mini Tool Partition Wizard and format to FAT32 or exFAT as MBR. It should get you going.
This has, IMHO, nothing to do with the drive. There must be a USB non-removable or other setting in the bios that marks or sets an external drive as permanent or internal.
I also use an EVO in my SC6000; no problems. Used it in a Prime4 as well. And even had a QVO in Prime2.
MSI Gaming M7 Mainboard - Win10.
Tried everything. Power Off and On again nothing. Its wired that there is no Error msg but if i connect the SSD while the Prime 4 is running it tells me to format the Drive.
There is a built in command line utility in Windows 10 called DISKPART. It’s a powerful utility, so understand it well before you use it. Here are the details:
