Answer

Hello,

Check Your System and SSD Compatibility:

Confirm that your SSD is compatible with your system and the USB port you're using.

Check the manufacturer's specifications for the SSD.

USB Port Speed:

Make sure you're using a USB 3.0 or higher port, as these have the bandwidth necessary for handling high-capacity drives.

Update Drivers:

Go to Device Manager.

Expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers."

Right-click on each USB controller and select "Update driver."

Check SSD Firmware:

Visit the SSD manufacturer’s website to check if there are any firmware updates available for your specific model.

Best Regards,
