And I am on a laptop, so I only have one slot to put a hard drive in. Yes I did get an enclosure rather than just the cable - the guy at MSY (love that shop) told me it was cheaper and once I am done I can turn my old HDD into another external drive. As many have mentioned - no there was no cable in the box. So now I am back to add my experience of Samsung 850 EVO. Read through this thread trying to find a solution. #SAMSUNG DATA MIGRATION NOT RECOGNIZING SSD SOFTWARE#Did anyone try using such software for SSD? Other dedicated HDD utility programs might work. #SAMSUNG DATA MIGRATION NOT RECOGNIZING SSD WINDOWS#Formatting the EVO with windows will not work even if you select the option to make bootable. I know for sure that setting the EVO to factory state will make it bootable but where is the software that can do that (the Samsung magician can not recognize the EVO). I checked Samsung support web page but did not find it useful (no info about such problem). I am afraid something wrong happen to the EVO MBR if it has one as HDD. I repeated the migration process until it successfully completed and installed the SSD but it did not work, my laptop did not boot because it can not see the 840 EVO as it saw it the first time. After replacing it with my old HDD, Windows treats the 840 EVO as an external USB drive and still the Samsung Magician is unable to find the 840 EVO in the system while the Samsung data migration program can see it and can perform the migration process. But after a couple of boot cycling to see how fast it boot the system, the system collapsed and my laptop BIOS does not recognize the 840 EVO as SATA storage device to boot from. Windows and other programs seem to run faster than before. After cloning is completed I installed it in my Samsung NP300E5A laptop. I received it a couple of days ago and followed the instruction using the cable and software came with it. I have the same problem with the 840 EVO. I didn't format the SSD until after Magician/DM failed to see the drive, and some online solutions to similar issues suggested this. Is the SATA/USB enclosure really different than a plain SATA/USB cable? (I've migrated HDDs to SSDs before using an external enclosure with no problem! But not a Samsung one wit Data Migration tool, I guess.) Once you've SE'd the drive you can then run the data migration program. If Samsung Magician recognizes the drive then Secure Erase it to restore it to a fresh-out-of-the-box condition. Remove the SSD from the enclosure and connect it to your laptop with the cable that came with it and then run Samsung Magician and see if it recognizes the drive. You should not have put it in an external USB enclosure or format it in advance. That's why you're having problems you should have followed the 6 cartoon pictures. It shows up as an external drive-I formatted it, has a drive letter. I have the SSD in an external USB enclosure.
