However, we do not find this solution ideal at all, since it makes the plug unnecessarily long. If you use a motherboard that does not have a USB-C port, you can either order a USB-A to USB-C cable or, as mentioned at the beginning, order a Crucial USB-C to USB-A adapter and connect it to the included USB-C cable.

The encryptions seems to be activated by default, with nothing to do to deal with it. I found nothing on the Crucial site (nor anywhere else) that helps me. Nothing helps me to have the encrypt mecanism active. I have tried to create a partition, mount it, format it. The disk is not connected to a RAID controller. The disk does not contain any mounted partitions.

For the second drive (the system one, a standard HDD disk), I can read that that the command is not supported (not same words for the 2 disks).Īnd "The PSID recovery operation will be available when the disk meets all of the following conditions: Using the crucial Storage Executive software, I can see on the PSID Revert menu that the PSID revert cannot be triggered for the SSD drive and can read that the encryption is not supported on it.
