Hello everyone,



I’m experiencing an issue with my server while installing Proxmox VE: my SSD is not being detected. Here are the details of my setup and the troubleshooting steps I’ve taken so far:



Server Setup:

• Hardware: Poweredge R910

• SSD: SanDisk SDSSDA 2.5” SSD 120gb

• Connection: SATA


What I’ve Tried:

• Verified that the SSD is functioning properly by testing it in another system.

• Confirmed that all cables and connections are secure.

• Checked the BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the drive is recognized and that AHCI mode is enabled.

• Attempted to boot a live Linux distribution to see if the SSD is detected outside of Proxmox, and it does actually appear.


Additional Details:

• I’m installing Proxmox VE version 8.3 on this system.

• I have no other drives installed which might be interfering with detection.



I’m not sure if this issue is related to a hardware compatibility problem, a BIOS configuration, or a setting within Proxmox itself. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can offer guidance on further troubleshooting steps?



Thanks in advance for your help!



Best regards,

Kilian Koch
