I wish to install my replacement Samsung 850 _Pro SSD as an external backup on my router. My original Samsung SSD was my primary boot dirve but failed after 8 months. Their customer service took about 20 days to replace it with a refurbished drive so now I have installed it in a MexStar case and would like to connect it as a USB to my router for image backup.

The Windows 8.1 does not recognize the drive when connected directly to a USB port on the computer. How do I accomplish my hookup. By the way, my boot drive is now a Crucial M550 which they delivered in 24 hours! Far better than Samsung's awful tech support.

Did you initialize and format the SSD through Disk Management?
