Windows 10: My MX500 250gb sata ssd is not being detected by Windows through a sata to USB connecter

I just got my SSD today and I encountered this problem.


Thing is, Windows detects the sata to usb connector fine, but the SSD doesn't show up at all, in both file explorer or device manager.


Thanks.

Can recover System backup in a SATA USB 3.0 SSD drive after put, in PC... or SSD must be SATA connected to PC - Not USB 3.0 connected?

OK but the SSD (itself to recover to it) has to be SATA Internal Connected??? Or can be usb 3 external connected temporarily - and after recover to this usb 3 SSD insert it in the PC as internal drive...?

SSD to SATA via USB not showing on windows 10

Hello, I did solve the problem, and I am posting because I saw many forums with the same issue and nobody was telling the correct way to solve it.

Background:

The computer is a laptop, the original HD is inside the laptop and it is a 2.5", normal laptop SATA connector with an HDD.

The new disk is an SSD disk by Kingson 240GB and in perfect working order and NEW

The New disk and interface cable (USB to SATA) is working as evidenced by working on an Xbox One (tested)

Issue

When I connect the new interface into any laptop, the laptop emits the USB pluged bip and shows next to the clock that there is a Disk attached to the system, perhaps when I search for it on the explorer I cannot see it. What could be the problem?

1. Interface not working
   1. Tested and the interface is working
2. Computer not able to recognize the interface disk
   1. Tested in 3 laptops with windows 10 and all of then do not recognize
3. A driver issue?
   1. The driver tested and found to be in working condition
4. A Configuration Issue?
   1. This is where I found the problem

The problem is that the driver is NEW and had no partition, which is good for Xbox-One, but bad for the windows. In order to see the drivcer, it has to have a partition and a letter assigned.

Solution

Format the driver to have a partition and letter then format to have an NTFS readable partition.

How to do it

I went to the "DISK MANAGEMENT", type it on the windows search bar for Cortana or similar, you will see your older driver, the one on the computer as a primary, disk0 and C, and a second disk without any partition. So now you can click on the new disk and
create a partition, format to NTFS and windows readable, assign a letter for it. If you need more help regarding the Disk Management, please look online, plenty of websites. After it conclude the formating, around 30 seconds, you will be able to see the new
hard drive on the windows explorer, if not, then restart the computer it will show up there. You can see the driver on disk management as a partition drive with a letter, usually D for a laptop

From there

From this point on, you can download a cloning program, usually, cost $50.00 and clone your original HDD into the SDD, it will take about 2 hours for a 250GB HDD to transfer to a 250GB SDD. Any HDD -> SSD via USB/Sata cable is capable of the same transfer.

I hope you like this tutorial and you can help many people too.
