I bought a used Intel SSD Pro 2500 series drive. In Windows, the drive is not mountable. Although the drive does not show up in Windows 10 file explorer, the SSD toolbox can find it and reports status as healthy and reports estimated lifespan remaining to be around 50%. If I go into the Windows disk format utility, I can see the drive, but when I try to format it, it errors out. Also in Linux, GParted crashes and I also cannot format the drive. It's running the latest firmware according to the Firmware Utility and SSD Toolbox. I downloaded the Intel Administrator tools and tried doing a PSID_Revert. I entered the PSID, but received an error that I think said something like "TCG: Initialization failed". So basically, the drive status appears fine according to SSD Toolbox, but I cannot read or write to it. Is there a way to reset the drive to factory specs others than PSID revert? Anything else I should try? One other note, I tried to read it first by connecting a USB adapter that came with my Samsung SSD to it. It did not work and I'm wondering if that USB adapter (which I thought was generic and would work with any SATA drive) killed it.
