The SSD in question here works just fine, but can't be detected by CrystalDiskInfo and SSDlife Pro or this sort of diagnostics programs. I am basically trying to check the status of the SSD because it should be near the end of its life.
Model info from Speccy -
ATA MTFDDAK512MAY-1A SCSI Disk Device
Any help will be appreciated.
Is the SSD allocated a Drive Letter in Win7? I don't know all the ins and outs of it and I'm not sure if this is what you need but I often have to do it to get Win7 to register my ext HDD's so I can access them.
Open Control Panel, click System and Security, down and click Administrative Tools - gets you a new window, double click Computer Management and you get another window.
In the new window click on Disk Management and after a few seconds you should see a list of hard drives available. If yours isn't allocated a Drive Letter it will show as blank where (C:) is, in the Volume column. To allocate Drive Letter right click on unallocated drive in the Volume column and navigate to Change Drive Letter … and click, in new box click the Add… button then in the new box click OK to allocate a drive letter to your SSD - available letter will be presented by the system.
If drive allocation is not your problem I don't know what will fix it.
It works fine. What you described above is not a problem in this case.
Did you fix it then?
The machine is busy atm crunching away numbers, I'll try fixes suggest in this thread while it becomes idle.
sorry presumed it wasn't being detected due to your topic…
what you need to do is download the DEV version of crystaldiskinfo. ie.crystaldiskinfo 6.1.x Dev4 x64 version
Guys, I think I found out what is going on, look here - http://i.imgur.com/2DHDe2X.jpg
Can anybody tell me what is the Crucial SSD model with this code? MTFDDAK512MAY-1A SCSI Disk Device
M550??
Well, I give up! Could not install the Crucial firmware, made bootable pendrive but it says no supported drive found. Lol!
did you even try downloading and installing the crystaldiskinfo DEV version? the release versions did not support crucials.
Could not find it, link?
Try installing an old version of… Intel RST v11.2.0.1006 driver. New versions are patchy.
