Cannot See My Computer Drives In Windows Explorer

This is one of the best nvme drives you can get from 2022. I can open folders and see previews in windows explorer on this drive noticably faster than on a seperate pcie 4.0 drive I have. I can't believe I got this for sub $400 on sale. I haven't ran into a scenario where I felt the drive was too slow or delaying me. i'm using it with a x570 motherboard.

At first it did not show a drive in windows explorer. I was thinking of writing a bad review, but then I opened Computer Manager/Disk Administration, turned out that the main volume on the drive did not have a partition

I'm happy with it, but sometimes it makes it impossible to turn off view file extensions in windows explorer unless I reboot.

I use this to connect to a HighPoint RocketStor 5322 Dual-Dedicated 6 Gbps eSATA Storage Dock. The purpose I use this setup for is Removable Backup Drives that are stored in the Safe to protect the data from Theft and Fire. I want to make an important note about Windows 8 and the use of this product. - Windows 8 and later shuts your computer down in a Hybrid Hibernation state, so that your computer starts up faster (if your OS is on an SSD it makes no difference in speed). If you leave this option turned on, it will not allow this controller to use the Drives connected to it as hot swappable and you will have many issues. If you turn this option off in Windows 8, everything works perfectly. - To get to this option in Windows 8 to turn it off, go to the Start button then click the magnifying glass for search and type po bu (stands for power button). Under Shutdown settings un-check Turn on fast startup (recommended). Click Save Changes at the bottom and then Re-start your computer. That is it, it will work perfectly now. I did not come up with that fix on my own I contacted HighPoint when I was having the issue and they first saw if they could recreate the issues I was having in their Lab and they were able to and told me they would contact me again when they have the issue resolved. A week later they contacted me and told me this fix for my OS. The issue had nothing to do with their hardware or software but an OS setting and they figured it out for me. I find that a rare thing these days and will Trust this company for future purchases if I need them.

It does the job. My 3 portable hard drives are all connected to my computer but none of them are visible.

Cannot be happier it worked better than anticipated. It brought new life to an old computer.

barely received computer. Cannot give a review at this time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my SSD in the mail and have had a very positive experience so far since having my son help me install it. This is for use on the "family computer", and to be honest, we haven't upgraded in a LONG time. My youngest was insisting we upgrade, and my oldest insisted we build from scratch. Our previous computer still had a HDD which had EVERYTHING (our instance of Windows, files, apps) all installed on it. We eventually got a SSD to swap out some things to run off of that. This time around, my oldest got me to pick this up so that we could install Windows and frequently used apps on it. After spending the first week on the new computer, I completely understand why he had us do it this way! applications load quickly and seamlessly, no more long loading times where you think you didn't "double click" on something only to click again and open up two instances of it, no more freezing, no more headaches! My youngest is also loving it as he uses it for virtual classes and online gaming; he downloads the main game he's playing at the time (not all of them since we don't want him to hog it all himself!) and he says there's a noticeable difference in the boot up, loading, and exit of the game software. My oldest said that building the new PC for us was really easy (took him about 2 hours overall since he's a perfectionist) and installing the SSD was effortless: A sturdy piece that was easy to connect to the motherboard and build around. Working with computers often, he's said he's heard of other SSDs snapping in pieces when being installed, but that it was never a concern with this one. I'm so happy with our new computer and I look forward to the many memories each of us will create using it in the future!

My computer front ports stopped working with a Windows 10 update, and I could not get them to work again. But my rear 3.1 ports were working fine. So I saw this little unit, and bought it at B&H's low price. It's plug and play, and functions perfectly. I plugged it into a rear port, and double-sided taped it to the computer top. It has a power button that once turned on, never has to be used again. Turn the computer off, turn it on again, and the hub powers up with the computer. Perfect, and an easy fix! I can high-speed transfer to my USB sticks again!

My first NEW computer since 1991. My last new computer was an Apple Mac Quadra 840AV. I built my own Windows machines in the 90’s and 2000’s. Bought used Mac’s off eBay after that. 2007 and 2012 MacBooks. This is an incredible computer. I highly recommend it. Fantastic keyboard. Love it!
