Not able to detect SSD via USB-C within Samsung Magician. Very disappointed

[Members_JsVLFHl]

I am very disappointed. I have an older Laptop with only one pci -e  port. This is now my boot drive and it is only 128 GB big.

I bought a 990EVO 2 TB drive. And a enclosure for the USB-C port.

Plan was to clone the C drive to the new Samsung EVO. But it can't be done with Samsung Magician because it doesn't recognise the Samsung drive.....

Why isn't Samsung Magician not able to see the EVO as other software (crystaldisk info) recognises it as samsung drive? Can't this be less strict?

How can I clone the C drive?

I've got a similar problem with the 870 EVO SSD on my Mac using a SATA-USB adapter. The OS recognizes the drive, and I can manage it with the native Disk Utility. However, the Magician app only sees the internal system disk.

similar problem.  Works on M1/mac, not M2.

Guessing a firmware problem.  Will attempt update using M1 using magician.

Really surprised Samsung let this get to this mess.
