Windows 10: Eluteng Enclosure and Samsung M.2 PM851 not recognised by windows

I recently bought an eluteng M.2 enclosure from Amazon and a Samsung PM851 M.2 SSD from CEx.

I placed the SSD in the enclosure and plugged it in to my laptop (Lenovo V110) Windows 10. The computer makes the sound that a device has been connected but the SSD does not show up in my computer.


I have tried searching for the drive in disk management but it does not show up, i have tried diskpart to no avail. If the device is connected and i start CMD using "Run as Administrator" and type diskpart, then no drives show up and it will not let me type "list disk" or anything at all.


I'm wondering whether the drive hasnt been wiped etc and it has the drive letter C as it is a second hand drive? is that possible, and if so how could you fix it?


Any other information needed, let me know.

M.2 SSD not being able to boot from it, windows doesn't recognise.


Ok, this is what happened after all the comments and suggestions, @Dude: Thanx for the video, my mb had non e of those settings, it had the raid/option memory gene or achi. Can only choose one or the other. @Saltgrass, my settings did point out auto and enabled the pcie x4, gen 3. I did an bios flash as suggested, because my bios was not the latest version, after a reformat the m.2 was picked up, still cant install OS onto it as it states legacy not found, removed my dvd rom from the sata port to another, and the drive was found and installed. Only issue now is that it's still not my OS drive but it at least now works and is installed, but on the Intel rst drive the obtain memory gene option to enable is greyed out, and shows as disabled. However the program lists the M.2 and it is working 100%,. I installed overwhatch onto it, it performs perfectly. But will update the intel driver tonight and see if that makes any difference. Seems the bios flash enabled the settings listed by @Dude that was not present pre-flash.

So the m.2 drive works. I can game off it and install omnto it. Can not install windows on it, gene memmory is enabled, pcie x4 is on and on auto detect, Motherbaord lists all the drives connected, motherboard ahs been updated to latest bios. After flash new settings became available, m.2 is now on memmory gene enabled not achi, windows os is enabled and fast boost is enabled, intel rst is installed and lists all the ssds and the m.2, however the m.2 on memmory gene is dissabled and the option to enable is greyed out. Will update the driver as Essenbe suggested of the m.2 and see if anything changes. Thank you all for the help, I can now atleast use my m.2

 

Samsung 950 Pro M.2

As you can see on this M.2 QVL list for my board, Samsung's listed are not 950 Pro, but older Gen 3 models

 

Samsung 950 Pro M.2

Mine supports M.2 NVMe, on a X99 board in my specs. Right next to the PCIe M.2 connection it even says 10 Gb /s. So i felt not worth it to get Samsung 950 Pro then, I have 850 Pro SSD i 'll survive.

Good luck with vacation, Nice !
