Windows 8 does not see SSD during installation?

Hello.
There is a Samsung 670z5e laptop. The HDD was removed from it and replaced with an SSD. This was done over a year ago. After that, more than one is visible on the SSD (7, 8, 8.1, 10 TP). After the last fraud with the SSD - I took it out and inserted it into another laptop to check it, that laptop was able to boot from this SSD, i.e. Booted Win 10 TP. After that, the SSD returned to the main laptop, Windows booted up again.
It was decided to return to Win 8.1 Single Language (Windows has already been installed from this image before). Installation is done via usb, recording an UltraISO image - all this has already been done to install the OS a hundred times.
Now the installer simply does not see my SSD and offers to install drivers for the disk.
The BIOS sees the SSD. Diskpart SSD sees.
What has been done and tested:
BIOS settings - AHCI (Auto / manual). Secure Boot (off), UEFI / UEFI + CMOS / CMOS.
I also tried to reset the disk (clean) with diskpart, format it, create a partition on it, and assign the drive letter as active. Tried to convert to GPT.
Formatted it on another working Windows (connected through a sled).
None of the above helped.
Previously, a similar problem was solved by simply switching to UEFI + CM OS.
SSD - Silicon Power v60 (if memory serves me right).
PS: recently, about 3-4 months, Windows 8.1 with all updates (license) often popped up in BSOD. Without updates - pure Windows - did not fall out in BSOD.
The same with Win 10, often the computer just rebooted and immediately after it showed that all boot methods were tried and just a black screen with this inscription. It was treated simply: turned off and turned on the laptop.

Disconnect all other hard drives or SSDs. Boot from the Windows 7 installation disc. Select the fix feature, then advanced features, then command prompt. Type: "diskpart" (without quotes) and press Enter. The command line will be called "diskpart". Type the following commands, pressing Enter after each command.
Diskpart > Select Disk 0
Diskpart > Clean
Diskpart > Create Partition Primary Align=1024
Diskpart > Format Quick FS=NTFS
Diskpart > List Partition
Diskpart > Active
Diskpart > Exit
Then restart your computer from the Windows 7 installation disk.

it happens. Put the drivers on the USB flash drive and there somewhere the section should be like look at the drivers on the USB flash drive and install and let's go. There was such garbage more than once, so I just don’t remember anymore

Most likely it was "broken" by a dozen - try repartitioning it completely in linux in Gparted - recreate the table (msdos type) on the disk.
You can also do this - by booting into mhdd with the NHPA and FDISK commands, return the disk to the "as from the factory" state.
