<< Solved >> SSD not detected - Acer Aspire 3 - i5 10210u

[koocho]

Update 01.03.2020:
Due to incompatibility issues with Intel Optane, I‚ll send this Laptop back and choose another one which is hopefully more compatible - https://asset.conrad.com/media10/ad...256-gb-ssd-intel-uhd-graphics-620-windows.pdf

I mark this thread as solved.


Hey everybody,

I've purchased an Acer Aspire 3 A315-54-53AC with the following specs

- Intel Core i5 10210u
- 8 GB DDR4 RAM
- 256GB SSD KINGSTON RBUSNS8154P3256GJ1
- Intel UHD Graphics

I was able to reach the installation GUI, but the SSD won't be recognized by disk utility nor by terminal (diskutil list). HFSplus.efi is already in /Clover/drivers/UEFI. In BIOS I don't find the option to set SATA to AHCI, maybe you see something on the attached pictures. I also attached the EFI folder. Any help would be appreciated!

Actually you don't need to send your laptop back. If you try Ctrl + S in BIOS-Main, then you can find SATA MODE. You have to change the SATA MODE to AHCI to find the SSD on the MAC.
