SSD not showing up in ''my pc''

Sazirgaming · Jan 30, 2017

Hello guys, so i have a samsung 850 pro 128gb ssd. I try to connect it to my computer via a sata to usb cable but it is not showing up in ''my pc''. I use this ssd for shooting video(my camera uses ssd as memory) so i only want to get my footage to my desktop. But it is just not showing up there. I tried what other people said about the computer management settings etc. but thats not working either. Here have a look at a screenshot i took :

Please help me

ok i deleted the volume and created a new simple volume and now i can see it but the problem is when i stick it into my camera it needs to format the ssd too in order for it to work. But when i format it in camera it doesnt work in windows :///// I guess i will have to ask that in the camera forum.

Hi Sazirgaming.

It sounds like the camera is using a file system which is not recognized by Windows. You should be able to find out which one it is in the camera's user manual. Unfortunately, the way you plan on transferring your data doesn't sound like it would work. I'd recommend that you check the camera's user manual for a different way to transfer files, e.g. attaching the camera itself to the computer or via Wi-Fi.

Hope that helps.

So you formatted the drive to what NTFS, FAT32? Then when the camera formats the drive, what file system does it format to?
