Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The new ssd drive comes unmounted which means there’s no volume. In order to solve this when open in device manger, just right click on the icon of the ssd drive and then click format in the selection there. After this just pick what you want such as ntfs or ex fat where a few seconds later the drive will work as the external drive you want it to be. Formatting it is the key.
