Device not recognized in system settings.
Hi there! This problem has been ongoing for a while and keeps appearing unexpectedly. After updating Windows, it still doesn’t resolve. My setup includes a Legion 7 laptop (R7 5800H, RTX 3080, 32GB Crucial RAM) with two SSDs – the built-in one and a 2TB Sandisk Extreme Pro from my old machine. The Sandisk is the one causing issues. Device Manager lists it, Task Manager shows graphs, and Disk Management recognizes it too. Whenever I try to open Disk Management after closing it, it prompts “Click OK” but the error persists. I checked CHKDSK and sfc /scannow, but nothing worked. This drive is my game drive, and replacing it would be costly and time-consuming. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
This was a reply from a Microsoft tech to another forum member. A CRC error suggests the drive is failing. If you bought it recently, return it and get a replacement under warranty—CRC issues can't be resolved. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/wind...1288181d7c
It seems like you're considering upgrading your storage. The prices for 2TB SSDs have dropped significantly since you bought yours, making Gen 4 options more affordable. You're thinking about the Crucial P5 Plus—though you won't get the Gen 4 speed boosts, having a dedicated desktop could let you access those speeds directly.
