SanDisk SSD Dashboard Software Not Detecting My Drive

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a SanDisk SSD and wanted to use the SanDisk SSD Dashboard software to check drive health, update firmware, and monitor performance. But I can’t get the software to recognize my drive at all.
After installing the SanDisk SSD Dashboard from the official website, I opened the software and it just shows:
“No SanDisk Drive Found” or “Please connect a supported SanDisk SSD”

But my drive is definitely connected and working normally. I can see it in File Explorer, I can read/write files, and it shows up in Disk Management. The drive itself is functioning perfectly – I just can’t manage it through the official software.

@Kurapya are you 100% sure it’s an authentic Sandisk drive? Have you checked the Serial Number and Warranty Status? Is the Sandisk drive inside a third-party enclosure or inside the computer itself?

Have you checked our knowledge base articles?

Try this these.

Right-click the SSD in Device Manager, select Properties > Details > Hardware ID, verify the product model, and then install the driver for the corresponding chipset.

Where did you bought the disk? Usually, the dashboard software is able to detect the sandisk drive.
