Hey guys
I recently bought a second SSD to add to my PC. It is the Toshiba Q series 128gb one and I'm having a tough time doing an install. First I hooked up the SATA 3 cable to my mobo and the SSD and the power but couldn't see it anywhere in my BIOS or disk management. I even tried a different SATA 3 port on my mobo. After that I used a usb to sata cable that came with my samsung ssd and hooked it up that way and its recognized immediately in disk management and I was able to format and create a simple drive I believe is the option name. After work today I'm going to buy another SATA 3 cable because my feeling is that the first SATA 3 cable might be bad. Anybody have suggestions during the mean time that I may be overlooking?
My mobo is an asrock z77 extreme 4. I have one other ssd which is my boot drive by Samsung and a mechanical hdd by western digital. Running windows 8.1
