Nor the magician and data migration software from the cd provided. When I connected the ssd to the enclosure then to usb 3.0 port, it didn't appear in file explorer. I was trying to clone my os so I can replace the hdd with ssd. I have an asus x550j running Windows 8.1. I have a Samsung 850 evo 500gb ssd and a sabrent enclosure. My problem was probably the same as yours. I hope it is some help to you so you can help me now. All this to speed it up because I can't afford a new machine with that kind of components inside.

Later I wanted to upgrade the CPU from the current i5 to a new i7 4900. As of now I have rebuilt the laptop from a new screen, keyboard, doubled the memory to 8gb and the next step was to switch the HHD to the EVO SSD. I only wanted to have a little faster drive over the slowly old HDD that is in the laptop. Even Windows isn't seeing the drive? There isn't anything on the web that I have found to cope with this problem or drive, even Samsung does not address this at all. It first must recognize the drive to do anything. It is supposed to be very simple to complete any and all functions with this software and is targeted at the Samsung EVO SSD particularly.

The functions say it is supposed to recognise the SSD, partition as you request and format also as you request. The problem I am encountering is the SSD is not showing up on anything.

I am trying to use the software supplied with the SSD so I can later utilize it's functions and features. If you're trying to transfer data from your existing hdd to a ssd, you can just plug in both to sata cables at the same time to your motherboard.Īlso make sure the sata power cable is connected to your SSD (next to the SATA data)
