So I just installed a brand new Samsung EVO 840 (pretty confident it;s setup properly, although with wires and components I had to install it to SATA 6, don't know if I pushed the power cord and SATA cord in hard enough as theres no click and I dont want to break it so it's hard to tell if it's actually in properly) but Samsung Wizard and my computer/device manager does not detect the SSD at all. I have a Corsair SSD with my OS on it but it won't detect the samsung I bought to install software on. What do you think is wrong?

If you can't see it anywhere in the bios either, I think you should double check the cables. There really shouldn't be any reason for the SSID not to be detected (unless it is doa). There shouldn't be any worries about breaking the sata interface, they usually aren't that fragile.

Thanks for your help bud! That seemed to do the trick, now its being deteced in computer management but it's not showing up in "my computer" It wants me to initialize the disc but I dont know if I should choose MBR or GPT since I already have a different SSD that I bootmy OS on.

Hmm I dont see the option to format but I did some researching and created a new volume which let me assign a drive letter and it seemed to have worked! Does this work properly or did I mess it up?

hmmm I think something may still be wrong :( In Samsung magician under performance benchmark it still says its unallocated and "No volumes found on selected hard drive" even though disk management says it has a drive letter (G) and is healthy with a primary partition

I did a restart and it seems to be detecting it now luckily, I was just wondering if I did it right and Im going to get the best performance possible for this setup?

Thanks again bud! Really appreciate it!
