Hi Razor829

  1. Open Disk Management and try formatting the SSD. Keep in mind that this will erase all the data on it.

  2. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type chkdsk X: /f (replace X with the letter of your SSD) to check for errors.

  3. Ensure the SSD is formatted as NTFS or exFAT, which work best with Windows.

  4. Go to Device Manager, find your SSD, right-click it, and choose Update driver

  5. Open Command Prompt as an administrator, type diskpart, then list disk, select your SSD, and type attributes disk clear readonly to remove any read-only settings.

If none of these steps help, the SSD might be defective, and you should reach out to the manufacturer for help or consider returning it.
