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.
