USB stick only visible in device manager

beginner99 · 23 Jan 2022

Dear forum,

I have a USB stick (corsair voygaer GTX, it's an ssd in usb stick format). It has worked flawlessly a week ago and today when I plug it into several different PC/laptop it only shows up in "securely remove" and as a a SCSI disk drive. (not sure if that was like that before). It does not show up under USB -> USB Mass storage device. It also does not show up in disk management.

Any steps I can do to make this work again or is the hardware somehow dead?

thanks but it doesn't show up in disk management (or disk part). only in device manager.

It sounds dead to me if you followed the suggestions in the other thread.

You could try downloading MiniTool Partition Wizard and/or DiskGenius and give them a try to format it - nothing to lose I suppose but a little more time.
