Finding Compatible SSD - Intel® Server Board S5500BC

[PATRICK123]

Hello everyone!

I hope you're doing well. I have Intel® Server Board S5500BC and I'm looking to buy compatible SSD but there's not much support online.

I recently bought Kingston 480GB A400 SATA 3 2.5 inch Internal SSD (SA400S37/480G) but looks like I'm having a hard time. Whenever this SSD is connected to the motherboard, my PC goes to sleep after the BIOS menu.

Could this be an issue of corrupt/bad SSD or it is not entirely compatible? I'd greatly appreciate your help/suggestion to buy an SSD of a different brand (eg. Crucial/WD/Seagate). Thank you.

Cheers

Patrick
