    Hi

    I just installed a new SSD one in title and windows does recognise it. However, I can't use it

    Disk manager also recognises it and it just says the storage is unallocated. I tried downloading a image off of google to it and it came up with this message:

    I'm 90% sure I installed it correctly its on my PC not a network so I can't think of how to fix this.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Just installed a new SSD Kingston A400 120GB M.2 and I can't use it

    Choice of M.2 SSD

    I need opinion about two M.2 /NGFF/ SSD brands for my laptop. I have the following options:

    Crucial M500 SSD, PCIe M.2 - 120 GB
    Kingston SSDNOW M.2 - 120GB

    Which is better? Reliability, speed, warranty.
