Hello everyone and thanks all for support and info.

I bought my xpl 3900  from Bob's Electronics who is a very good and honest person and I highly recommend him 🙂

His 3900 comes with 80 SSD ( paying extra for the ssd of course) and was working fine till few days ago, that it has disappeared from the 3900 box and I can not find it.

I was wondering if any of you fine people can help me with that ?

Much Obliged

did you check to see if it's still plugged in?

Thanks du, how do I do that? besides I did not do anything to unplug the ssd? as I said it was working fine till few days ago 😞

open the panel on the bottom to make sure it's connected

I just did and its connected but still does not show up in the "File Browser"  😞  

That File Browser sucks, SSD will appear until you use File Browser.

Once you try with File Browser , it disappear, I had the same problem

Thanks, so where do you look for the SSD if not at File Browser?

home page/settings/more/storage & reset

home page/settings/more/storage & reset

Thanks du, but all I see in that section of Storage & Reset is:

Device Storage:

Internal shared storage:

total space: 11 GB

Reset:

Factory data reset

 

That's all I see there and no sign of Kingston SSD that was 80 GB 😞

The box is only few months old?! what can cause a SSD to die though?

thanks

my guess is because it's a kingston

even their sd cards suck

ok thanks du for the headsup, then why does Electronic Bob's in SC only installs Kingston SSD on his 3900s ?  😞 

you would have to ask  Bob that no?

Unplug SSD  and replug and Try, if still problem then SSD may Died, Mine was Died too 

I just received my second xpl 3900 and supposed to have an installed 80 GB SSD by Bob ( The Seller) however, I still do not see the Kingston SSD in the "File Browser" ?

but when I went to look for it , I see it

Seetings-->More-->Storage&reset-->INTEL SS USB drive (73 GB)

 when I go to intel ss drive that has 73 GB on it, the options are:

1. Eject

2. Erase & format as removable storage

do I click on option 2?

what would it erase? as this is a brand new box?

Thanks for you help.

 

it wouldnt erase anything its a generic message
