When I initialize the ssd drive it says the size is to be 40 MB. This is a 500 GB Drive why is it initializing to only 40 MB? Samsung Magician, the install software also says When I click on the icon to open the Samsung Magician it says: Failed to initialize logger module. Cannot start application. Help me understand this new to me termonology, for SSDs.

Also, are you required to Format SSD drives. I would not think so. But is there any preparation needed after you connect the cables? Thanks much.

I formatted the drive and everything looks good. It has 500 GB of space and I copied a graphic and opened it in Photoshop and it was quick. Glad it worked as advertised. Do you still want the screen shot of Disk Manager?
