External SSD drive Not configured correctly as a USB Mass Storage Device.

Hi,

Let us isolate your concern by answering the questions below:

• Have you tried to use the SSD on another computer to check if the same thing happens?
• Is your SSD USB 2.0 or 3.0?
• Do you have other similar SSDs with the same connection type that show up differently when you connect them?

In the meantime, we suggest that you install the chip set driver from your device's manufacturer to check if the issue persists. You may refer to this
link to find out how to get in touch directly with your device's manufacturer.

Looking forward to your response.
