Hello Glenn,

This happens because the SSD is connected to a SATA controller that is identified as RAID (SCSI) in device manager. In this case we suggest you to connect the drive to a regular SATA AHCI controller (which does not appear as SCSI in device manager) such as the Intel® SATA controller/chipset.

Reinstalling the operating system is recommended if this is the boot disk and if you want to connect it to a different controller as Windows* will require a different driver.
