External SSD recognized as HDD in Windows 10

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to External SSD showing as HDD when connected to the PC using USB 3.0 port. For further clarity on the issue, please respond to the questions below.

1. Have you tried connecting the SSD to any other PC?
   
2. Are you using any converter to connect the SSD through USB 3.0 port?
   
3. Are you using a RAID configuration?
   

I have researched on your query and found that the SSD that you are using is an internal SSD drive, in this case I would suggest you to try updating the Intel Rapid Storage drivers from the

intel website and see if that helps.



In addition, this issue can occur if the SSD is connected to a SATA controller that is identified as RAID (SCSI). I would suggest you to try connecting the SSD to a SATA port that uses AHCI controller such as Intel SATA controller/chipset.



Please get back to us with the detailed information to assist you further.
