Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-57) MX500 2.5'' SATA ssd not recognized as a bootable device?
Hi, I'm trying to install a 2TB Crucial MX500 2.5'' SATA ssd on my Acer AN515-57 Laptop. I do not have a USB to SATA cable for cloning my data from my original ssd to this new ssd I bought. My Bios version is 1.16 I think.
My first question, is there a limit to how much storage I can have on this device? I have an m.2 ssd with 526GBs installed already that runs fine without my MX500, but when I connect the MX500 with or without my other ssd, the computer turns on but doesn't even show the Acer logo and loading screen. I have no idea why it does this.
If I had to guess, my first problem probably comes from the laptop not actually recognizing this ssd.
My second question, is there a way to change the SATA mode on this model? Perhaps it is related to a different problem, I really don't know for sure, pls send help.
