Cannot Format External SSD
Hello,
new Mac user here.
So my Windows laptop broke down so I removed its SSD and turned it into an external drive. When I connected the external SSD to my Mac I could view and transfer files so I know it wasn't corrupted or anything. The issue is that when I tried using Disk Utility to format it from NTFS to exFAT I got all sorts of errors.
When trying to "erase" I get error -69879 (couldn't open disk)
When trying to use "first aid" I get error -69845 (file system verify or repair failed)
The external SSD is Samsung 850 EVO 120GB .
Do I need to download any drivers?
Any help to make my drive usable again would be appreciated.
