Died after 5 months
Crucial x8 purchased in January 2020 and expired May 31, 2020. Worked fine until it died. It will no longer connect to Galaxy S 7 Edge or Samsung Note 10 Plus. I can't retrieve my data. I sent help request to the manufacturer today, May 31st, 2020. There is a 3 year warranty.
Regarding your problem, we suggest to connect the ssd to your pc and initialize (format and partition) as "New Simple Volume" using "Disk Management".
Once initialized the ssd restart the pc and the ssd should the visible and recognized with no problems, also keep in mind that our external ssds are designed mainly for computers.
- A Lenovo P50 IS a laptop. It no longer recognizes the Crucial 8x. So, since it does not appear as a connected device (as I said in an earlier email), it cannot be formatted.
- "our external ssds are designed mainly for computers," you wrote. However, your advertising at Amazon.com states:
Works with a broad range of devices
Increase storage capacity for nearly any computer, tablet, phone, or console. Works with Windows, Mac, iPad Pro, Chromebook, Android, Linux, PS4, and Xbox.
Includes a 3-year limited warranty
Backed by Micron, one of the largest manufacturers of flash storage in the world
So, let's employ the 3-year limited warranty since I have only this device from January 2020 to May 2020. That's 5 months.
