If your Mac or PC does not recognize a newly installed SSD in the Stand & Hub for Mac Mini / Studio with NVMe SSD Enclosure, the drive most likely needs to be formatted first.

On macOS:

1. Open Finder, then your Applications folder.
2. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
3. Under External, select the SSD.
4. Click Erase at the top.
5. Choose a format: APFS for Apple devices, or ExFAT for use with both Apple and Windows.

On Windows 10 or 11:

1. Open File Explorer and go to This PC.
2. Right-click the drive and choose Format.
3. Choose a file system (ExFAT for cross-platform use) and start the format.

If the drive still does not appear after formatting, please contact Satechi Support.
