I’ve just bought a new 4tb SSDdrive (

Crucial MX500 4TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5 Inch Internal SSD) to replace one of my 500G SSD.​


Formatted it in disk management ( done this lots of times over the years ) . Started to copy a few things over got the error deleting get error 0x800701b1?

So I thought I’d check in disk management again and it was unallocated and I couldn’t do anything on it .

Rebooted my system and it wouldn’t boot in windows . Powered off put old 500 back in and booted and worked fine ?

Any ideas please ?

Thank you
 
You're saying the drive is inaccessible now?

I'd replace/reconnect all of the cables, including the power (make sure they're SATA 3 compatible).

Try these steps too:

  1. If possible, connect the SSD via a hard drive enclosure or USB adapter, then plug it in to a USB port (preferably a different system if possible, to rule out system-level malfunctions). Whether the drive is visible or not, let it sit in this state for a minimum of five minutes to allow the SSD to rebuild its mapping tables, then reboot the system and see if the drive is restored.
  2. If a USB adapter is not available, reseat the drive and boot in to your system’s BIOS or UEFI with the drive connected normally for a minimum of five minutes to allow the drive to attempt this same rebuild, then reboot the system and see if the drive is restored.
    Note: This mode may be less effective than a USB connection, as some systems will cut power to an attached device if the drive does not mount normally.
  3. If the above steps do not help, try the SSD in another system (if you haven’t already), to rule out the original cabling and ports as a potential cause of this behavior.
  4. If the drive comes back and is functional, it is recommended to update the firmware to the latest revision (if applicable). The page with the latest firmware revisions can be found here.
  5. If this procedure does not resolve the issue, a replacement may be needed. Please contact us for more assistance.

Thanks for your reply , yes it’s inaccessible now . I took it out with the same cables I’d used for ages on the older one and swapped it with the old ssd and that works fine .

That’s why I’m a little puzzled as I expected that to play up afterwards ?

Thanks
 
I think you've done enough to show the new SSD is now faulty.
An external USB-to-SATA cable is a very useful tool for checking suspect SSDs. A small but worthwhile investment.

Well I've swapped cable's over and used a new port (Not the one the old 200gig was in ) Copied some files over and deleted them and it seems to work fine now?

Even ran a virtual machine off it that i use for work etc they crashed and wouldn't power up yesterday on that drive.

Going to leave the pc on a bit now and see if it works fine .

Thank you

Might be working now ?

Never thought of one of those cables will look for one thank you .
