Do you happen to have a PC that you can connect it up to?

When you say you have connected it to a PC, what PC and how are you validating it's not working? I assume you have not gone into the Disk Manager (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) to initialise and format the drive.

the drive does not show up on the pc

Does anything detect when you plug in the USB? If you hear or see some hardware installing then this is a good sign. You then need to open up Disk Management and look for the new drive - should be there. Then you initialise and format it for it to start appearing in File Explorer.

I found out the problem from your hint.
drive shows up on MacBook but not windows..so I used MacBook to format.

Check this video on what you need to do,... basically since its a new drive its not initialised which is why you dont see the drive.

Sound like what hafiz116 says. new drive its need to be initialised and format before u can use.

The problem is I don't see it in Windows.. I can only see in Mac.

This one is a very fast SATA3 SSD, own a few can easily out perform my PCIE4 SSD... if connect to SATA port and enable rapid mode in magician.

Will it degrade the performance?
By the way I got one that is 1 year old.
Wrote 1.9tb of data. How long more expect the lifespan.

2ndly can I rapid mode in Linux

Samsung Magician will diagnose the conditions of the drive... mine easily 5x your write data... and showing GOOD.... main thing u need to overprovision otherwise your ssd will gg very fast when its 100% used.

once u put inside a usb case, max it goes is 100MB, 20% of its potentials....
No diff from a legacy cylinder HDD, its a waste...from my point of view.

Assuming yours is 256GB model, you still have at least 25yrs more more of write to go
