A SATA to USB C cable meant for a 2.5 drive, plugged into a 2.5 SSD, and into my IdeaPad Gaming 3, isn't showing up. What am I doing wrong?

These are the SSD and cable I've got.

    The cable you linked to is a SATA to Thunderbolt 3 cable. Does your machine support Thunderbolt 3?

The cable is compatible with the port.

Here's what to do.

  • Go into your Services and make sure "Virtual Disk" is running.
  • Open up Diskpart and type "automount"
  • Restart PC

Then open up Disk Management, follow the prompt, then right click in the empty space for your new disk at the bottom of the window and select the option to create a new volume, follow the prompt, you're done!
