Hi @Topxav,

Please refer below link Windows or macOS Cannot Find My Drive:

Please check & try to fix the below issue:

  1. Initialize your SSD in case if it is not initialized.
  2. Assign a drive letter to your SSD.
  3. Check if the SSD file system is supported by Windows or not.
  4. Check if the SSD disk driver installed properly or not.

hopefully, your drive will be recognized.
