Expected behaviour

I should be able to see my 1 TB SSD when using a command like fdisk -l, but it never shows up when I plug it into one of the Odroid HC4 sata ports. However, when I plug it into my USB Sata dock, it works just fine and shows up as available to mount.

Actual behaviour

fdisk -l

Extra details

Drive is a TEAMGROUP EX2 T253E2001T0C101 1TB SSD. I’m happy to try anything that you can recommend - I’m new to linux and this is making me want to pull my hair out I’m so confused! Thank you for any advice you can offer.

Googling around found this…known issue??

I found this thread but I couldn’t seem to follow the same steps Odroid HC4 sata drives not recognized

Tried a PNY CS900 1TB SSD and it worked with no issue >_> time to return the other… glad it wasn’t fried lmao
