I investigated and tried every known fix like making sure the SSD was formatted, etc. ![]() So clearly this thing has a problem with SATA-to-USB. Any other hard drive allowed boot up without issue. ![]() It was then I noticed that the unit would hang the BIOS on startup. I tried putting the SSD in a laptop, installed Windows on it, then extract it, boot up my source hard drive and put it in the dock - no luck. I used a Thermaltake BlackX 5G USB dock which I had no problems plugging any other drive and having it be recognized by Windows 10, except the Samsung SSD. The problem is definitely with the Samsung SSD. ![]() I have spent 4 frustrating days trying to get this resolved, and have finally done so with good results with a method that should work for anyone. Recently I had performed a Samsung SSD swap/install on a friends laptop without problems so I did not expect one myself.heh heh. I wanted to extend the life of a laptop and increase I/O speed. I purchased a Samsung 850 EVO SSD for the same reasons as this poster 'Jordan' did. Ok, I know this thread is old but hopefully this will help anyone who stumbles across it with a search. Now that I have the SSD in my new build, I'd like to format it but still retain Windows 10.Ĭan anyone recommend the best way to achieve this? I wouldn't even mind completely wiping the SSD for a fresh install of Windows 10, but I'm unaware on how to achieve this. I've recently purchased the EVO, and transferred over the data using the provided Samsung software.
