Samsung 990Pro w/ heat sink via ACASIS EC-6606

[trevor9991]

Greetings.

I purchased a 2Tb Samsung 990 Pro with heat sink to upgrade our son's desktop. Since the MB only has one PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot, I also purchased an adapter - an ACASIS EC-6606 docking station.

It's connected via the included USB Type 3 cable.

I installed Samsung Magician. The "Drive Dashboard" shows the EC-6606 and the "0/1.8Tb" drive, but on the "Drive Details" window it says "Disk 1 (Total Capacity 1.8 TB, 0 Volumes) No supported volumes found.

Windows Device Manager detects the EC-6606 dock.

The 990 Pro blinks with a red light. Windows chimes that something as been connected.

However Windows sees the new drive as D:\, but an info box appears that says "D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function.

Is the drive dead?

Disk management says the drive is online and working properly.

Any help or ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Create a simple volume on it with Disk Management.

Thanks!

I'll try that tonight.

That worked!! Thanks!

I was thinking of doing that, but I always worry about messing with formatting or creating volumes etc. Almost as much as registry stuff.

Thanks again!!
