Force GT and Sabertooth X58--Is my ssd DOA?

[mentalRAGE]

Hey everyone,

 

I recently purchased a Corsair Force GT 120Gb. I installed it in the SATA 6Gb/s ports on my mobo, but it wasn't recognized in bios, windows, or during the bios post. I tried to other SATA 6Gb (there are two), same result. I then tried plugging it into a SATA 3Gb/s port, and the ssd was still not detected. I updated my bios to the latest version, and also update the Marvell controllers before installing the ssd. I enabled AHCI (in bios and registry). Does anyone have ideas for me to try or do I just need to RMA it?

 

Thanks!

Are you using a backplane or 2.5" adapter tray device for your desktop? These things can interfere with SSDs easily though they may work fine for a regular notebook hard drive

I do have a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter to fit it in my case, but the adapter is all plastic so I'm not sure how that would cause interference...

Sounds like a pure DOA. Use the RMA link on the left side of any forum page and we'll replace it. Or you can RMA with your place of purchase if you prefer.
