Can't find my sata ssd after installing it

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

i just installed a SATA SSD to my pc, it recognized in my BIOS, however it doesn’t show up in the OS

You need to format the ssd first , you can do this by using Gparted.

it doesn’t show up in gparted

4

Also not using the drop down list at the top right side of Gparted ?

i used the drop down list and the one in the toolbar

You can use lsblk and sudo blkid to list the block devices
For example

$ lsblk
NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
sda      8:0    0 238.5G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0  1000M  0 part /boot/efi
└─sda2   8:2    0 237.5G  0 part /
sdb      8:16   0 931.5G  0 disk 
├─sdb1   8:17   0   384M  0 part 
├─sdb2   8:18   0    96M  0 part [SWAP]
├─sdb3   8:19   0 266.9G  0 part /sd/b3
└─sdb4   8:20   0 664.1G  0 part /sd/b4
sdc      8:32   1     0B  0 disk

and

 sudo blkid
[sudo] password for xxxx:

Please check in your UEFI / BIOS to see if

  1. SATA PORT ENABLE is enabled
  2. SATA Mode is set to AHCI
