Understanding why SSD adapter doesn't work

[Markverhyden]

I just stuck the SSD in it and then connected it to a USB/sata adapter

I'd only use USB2SATA if I'm onsite. Otherwise they always run off the native chipset on the motherboard.

In the picture of the adapter there is a switch to select the M.2 or mSATA. Did you move the switch to mSATA?
