    New Samsung EVO 840 SSD Format Problem.


    Hello.

    I'm currently having problems with the aforementioned SSD drive.

    It is brand new and I have tried different sata ports/cables.

    The drive is detected in bios and windows. and Samsung Magician shows no problems/errors.

    The drive is currently stuck in RAW format.



    When I try to access formatting I'm presented with this error.



    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Problem has been solved.

    Sata 6 controller was causing formatting problems.

    switched back to sata 2, formatted then switched back to sata 3

    Thanks.
