Crucial SSD not detected by BIOS

Hi,
I installed a SSD Crucial MX300 275GB on an OptiPlex 9030 AIO but the bios (latest version) did not detect it.

A Dell technician tells me that i can mount maximum a 256GB SSD but Crucial does not match this information.

The SSD was inizialized befor installing on AIO.

Regards,
Roberto DM

Hi rdmcomod2,

Thanks for posting.  You may wish to post this in the Desktop board so more experts can see it.  

Dell has only tested the following sizes of hard drives but it is possible larger ones may work.  You may have to refer to Crucial for additional drivers or settings as the drive is not supported by Dell.

Drives Supported

 2.5-in. SATA HDD: 128GB SSD/500GB SED HDD/500GB Hybrid HDD


32GB mSATA


9 Legend

That drive is supported - make sure the drive operation is set to SATA/AHCI, not RAID.
