Hi, I'm having a problem with installing and formatting a new Samsung EVO 750 SSD on windows 10 on a desktop. The SSD is hooked up, shows up in the bios and device manager but not the disk management or diskpart meaning that I can't format it. I have made sure that both the SSD's SATA cable and port definitely work and even tried to format it by unplugging all other drives and using the windows 10 install to attempt to format it but it doesn't show up there either. Please help as i have spent a very long time trying to figure out what is wrong and I think that it might be an issue with windows 10.

"I had the same problem when connecting a 1TB HGST SATA 3 HDD externally to my ASUS ROG G751JY notebook via external SATA 3 to USB 3.0 Adapter/enclosure, using Windows 8.1 & Windows 10 OS. I could see new HDD in device manager with no problems listed but could not find it in disc manager to initialize & format it.
It has nothing to do with your raid set up it's the lame disc management from Windows 8.1 & Windows 10 OS that has known issues. I simply purchased a third party software called Mini tool Partition Magic Pro v9.1 and used it to initialize & format the new HDD now Windows list the drive in disc manager.
My notebooks internal drives are 512GB Samsung PCIe SSD & 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSD for storage. The 1TB HGST SATA3 external drive was removed from notebook (it was only showing 32GB total capacity) so I replaced it w/ the Samsung 850 Pro SSD & returned to ASUS RMA. ASUS sent me back the new 1TB HDD for replacement. It's a shame that Windows OS is so lame that you are forced to buy third party disc management software to simply initialize raw brand new SSD's & HDD's and format them but oh well"
