No thanks.
I will pay actual shipping cost, and will not charge for my labor to try to get this working. If I succeed I will pay a fair value. Otherwise I will dispose of it and not charge for that.

What model is this?
I sold most of the equipment from my last computer. I have been thinking maybe its stuck in raid mode. A few years ago i had a pair of western digital caviar black in raid 0. When i removed the drives and tried to use them in another computer i could not get them to detect no matter what i did. After awhile i decided to plug both of them back in the computer that had been running them in raid. I went back in to the raid menu and deleted the raid array. After that my other computer detected it. I have a feeling this might be some kind of problem like that. Ive noticed when your drives are striped for raid they dont show in the bios only in the raid menu.
I will sell for 5 BTC. However i just posted this so give me a few days to gather a few offers. If nobody offers more than 5 coins its yours.

fair enough, I'll check back in a few days.
I havent really tried anything but updating the bios. Not being able to detect and install windows was enough for me to buy a new SSD and forget about this one.
Have you tried booting Linux? It will bypass your BIOS so it doesn't matter what it's formatted as, you should be able to zero the first few sectors using dd and then make the drive work in any OS again. A bootable image of Ubuntu or something would be all you need. If you're not familiar with dd, mount, and dmesg, then remove all other drives, boot up Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) and erase the whole drive from the menu.

I will sell it for 5 BTC. However i just posted this so give me a few days to see if i can get a better offer. If i dont get one its yours for 5 coins.

5 btc, i'll pay for shipping.
I know...Did you try plugging it back into the old comp? Or is that not an option anymore?
LOL i might as well throw it away for 1 coin. It will cost that just to ship it.
1 BTC for a possibly non-working SSD
Im not sure what the deal is with this drive so im selling this as is. It was my personal drive. Ive had it for about 1 year. I had 2 of them in raid and they were very impressive. I recently got a 2011 socket and put together a new computer. I sold one SSD and tried to install windows on this one. I cant get my new board to detect this drive. Ive tried all the sata ports on the board. Ive updated my bios. I tried a new sata cable. I dont know WTF the problem is. It was working fine and now for some reason its giving me a hard time. So again, sold as is. May or may not be working. Hopefully you can do something with it cause im out of ideas. Either the SSD is bad, my new board dont like it, or something else that i have not thought of. I dont have a price in mind will sell for whatever. PM me your offers.
