Tip: In addition to SSD, you also find many discussions about external hard drive not showing up, or hard drive not showing up in my computer or Disk Management, and here take SSD as an example. When searching SSD not showing up on the internet, you will find many users have asked such a question. I can't use it at all.' –from tomshardware. I see it in the Device Manager which says that it's working fine, I can see it in the BIOS as well but I can't see it in My Computer or Disk Management, rendering the whole SSD useless.

I want to install Windows on this SSD and completely reset my PC, why isn't my PC detecting my SSD? I can't even see it. Let's look at a real case: 'Hi all, I bought a PNY XLR8 120GB SSD and I've put it in my computer and set it up, my motherboard is a Asrock 970 Extreme4 and I can detect the SSD in my BIOS but not in Windows. The Software is “in use” when it is either downloaded, copied, loaded into RAM or installed into the hard disk or other permanent memory of a computer or other.

I have not seen a HyperX without Deterministic read data after TRIM.SSD Not Showing up in Windows 10 Nowadays compared to traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD), Solid State Driver (SSD) becomes more and more popular since it owns many advantages, for example, fast read-write speed, low power consumption, no noise, and more. They will not return zeros either on a popular Linux TRIM test.Īnyway everything seems to be ok on 5.60 for the XLR8 Pro. I believe a Samsung 840 Pro or Sandisk Extreme doesn’t have Deterministic read data after TRIM either, just read that. I also have a OCZ Vertex 460 240GB on the way so I’ll see what it says. So if any Linux users read this let me know what haparm give you on your XLR8 Pro.
#PNY DRIVE UTILITY INSTALLATION PACKAGE UPDATE#
I could update my HyperX’s to 5.60 and test it but I don’t think I will. This is going to give Linux people problems thinking it isn’t working. I wish I’d have tested it before I updated it. I thought my TRIM wasn’t working when I didn’t get Zeros back but it appears it is. I assume since they both use a Sandforce controller that the difference is FW. My HyperX’s do this.īut since the XLR8 Pro doesn’t have “Deterministic read data after TRIM” it will read back the exact data even though it is marked by TRIM and TRIM is working. There is a TRIM test in Linux where you write a file and read a sector back after deleting the file. This is what I get from the XLR8 Pro 240GB using 5.60 FW *ĝata Set Management TRIM supported (limit 1 block) I run Linux and using hdparm I get this from a HyperX 3k 120GB using 5.03 FW:

The PNY SSD firmware zip file can be found here. For those that love incompressible results…
When you couple this with lower 4K-QD4 read and lower 4K write results however, we can see where the Total score drops.įor those who might be considering that this may work on other brands of LSI SandForce Driven SSDs, we are one step ahead and tried with negative results. Where we need to understand the reasoning behind the professed performance boost comes from high sequential read and write performance, as well as the high IOPS score, all of which are definitely better. Our two Anvil Storage Utility charts below identify that testing had been done with F/W 5.04 and 5.05 and, it seems that we get a higher total score from 5.04. Previously, many had spoken of the 5.05 firmware being restricted to manufacturers and maybe even providing a performance boost so we thought we might check it out for ourselves. We mention choosing the firmware version you want as PNY has included both versions 5.04 and 5.05 for you to update. The process couldn’t be easier as you select the drive and then choose the firmware version that you prefer. PNY has finally released their firmware update for the Prevail and XLR8 families and we just updated our SSDs, each taking a grand total of about 10 seconds to complete and no reboot necessary. This was obvious in our review of the PNY Prevail Elite SSD where we praised it’s build and performance with our Editor’s Choice Award and commended PNY for being the first consumer SSD manufacturer to use eMLC memory in efforts to increase SSD endurance. Typically we don’t post articles on SSD firmware updates but the uproar received over PNY’s being ‘late to the game’ with their SF 5.04 firmware update was something we never expected.
