Wondering any sifu can help me with my problem?
My laptop is unable to detect the new samsung ssd that i bought just now..
i was told to use the sata to usb cable to connect the ssd but currently i dont have 1 so i decided to try to connect it through the caddy bay..
my question is do i really need a sata to usb cable so that i can detect my ssd?

sorry for my 'noob' question as im new in installing ssd sweat.gif

PS for the reflection on the image

have you initialized it on disk manager already? If you can see your SSD under the device manager, that means your SSD is working, only left disk initialization.

You still have to initialize it under disk management, without it windows unable to use it, take a look on this guide
