Grab your contact cleaner and clean their SATA connectors!

I just bought a new 1TB Crucial MX500 made in god knows what year and installed it in a virgin SATA port of a M710q made in 2016 and I got the vomit you see above every time I loaded the drive. Reseated all the connectors. More vomit. Scratched my head a couple of times reaching for the trash bin and I had a brainwave that there might be oxidation from sitting naked with the elements. Took out the DeoxIt Gold, dabbed all the connectors on the SATA path, cycled them a few times, powered on and loaded the drive. No more vomit.

Uh they’re played in gold and the geek squad guy specifically said they never need washing

Usually just plug/unplug couple of times is enough. No fancy chemicals.

SATA minimum rated connection cycles is 50. 😂

incogtino,

It tells you right there in the log: “DRDY”

johntash,

Dumb question but what do you mean you cycled them a few times?

catloaf,

Unplugged and plugged back in.

Plugged/unplugged.

Well there’s your problem. You’ve got to plug it back in!

BigMikeInAustin,

Nice. I would not have thought to clean the connectors.
