External SSD not recognized
Hi i'm using 970 EVO PLUS NVMe M.2 PCI-E x4 SSD, 2TB inside a ROG STRIX ARION M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD Enclosure.
System recognizes it fine but my ATI 2021 doesn't. Tried adding a new disk it doesn't see it either. When in backup I can pick it from the folder list. But it won't recognize via the wizards, and diskclone, which i what i'm wanting to do keeps saying there isn't a drive installed.
Thoughts? (all drivers etc have been updated, running W10)

Thanks guys. So the two issues I have are:
1. I does show up in windows, and the software will see it for a backup. (Want to clone not backup).
2. It doesn't show up in the software except when doing a back up. So I can't add a new disk or make a bootable recovery partition on it.
It worked fine with my old seagate drive, I just found that when I had a catastrophic error the other day and did the recover it was super slow and painful to use. (took over 18 hours to do the recovery.) So I wanted a much faster SSD option. I've already purchased the drive it's just not selectable from the software.
Thanks.

Ok update, buddy who tested it and sent me the drive said try a different port.. lo and behold. Sucks it only recognizes it on the USB2 port and not the USB3 port. As a funny side point my current external gaming drive which is a Cuda is recognized by the software. So after a speed test I might swap the new SSD for the old one as the clone/gaming drives.
