Hello everyone,

I Just got a new SSD. Installed it correctly and tried to move some games over into it to free up some hard drive space. The model is the ADATAsx900. The sdd is being picked up on the bios and on windows when I add the volume and add the path. It's not giving me access to it. When I try to format it in disk management it either tells me the volume is online or format failed. I've deleted it and went through making a new volume again, ive set a new path to it, i've also checked the bios to make sure that it was marked as an ssd and it was enabled. I've looked around and cant really find anything that helps. The computer recognizes the ssd under devices but either tells me offline or failed. If anyone has any knowledge of what i could do or try that'd be great thanks. Its been a huge frustration for me.
My current specs:
GPU: Asus GTX 750 Ti
CPU: intel core i5 6500 3.2 GHz Quad-core
Motherboard: ASRock h110M-HDV Micro ATX LGA1151
PSU: Model No. ULT-LS500 500W ATX Power Supply

 
Solution
Get into control panel, administrative tool, computer management, disk management
in there you should see your physical SSD.

I think you accidentally delete the unallocated part of your SSD. Every drive should have unallocated file for its system reserved.
delete everything in SSD (even the unallocated one) then reformat. It should do it for me.
