what if my pc isnt detecting it at all?
Are you able to make us a video of raiding two ssds as a duel ssd? Are we able to make the Boot drive ssd e a duel?
Great tuto thanks! But what if my SSD already has data in it and I want to install it without losinc any data?
I have a NVME drive that I had my OS installed can I use it for my second drive for games, if yes,do you have a video link how to completely wipe it like new
Your pc may be like mine and may not be able to support two SSDs. If your intel chip is version ten or less you can't add another SSD. So you''ll either have to replace the current one with one with more capacity or add a SATA SSD instead@@frankdedvukaj8767
Don't you love it when you watch a RUclips tutorial and you follow it and everything goes the way it should be. Thanks my man, now I can install more games!
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help.
Had this exact issue couldn’t figure out why my 2nd m.2 wouldn’t show up followed this video and bam doubled storage thanks so much got a sub outta me great tutorial
My thoughts exactly! One of the simplest tutorials I've ever watched.
literally my exact reaction when everything went according to plan LOL 😮💨
I'm just impressed i found the tutorial I needed, usually i phone a friend because the internet frustrated me
You said zero unnecessary things. You showed and told everyone exactly what we needed to see and hear. Awesome.
Glad I could help 😃👍
No talking about nothing for 20 minutes straight to the point 👌worked 1st try
Perfect 👍 Glad it was helpful!
I'm really baffled at how efficient this video was in this day and age. Very straightforward yet complete and easy to follow.
I appreciate the kind of words and I'm glad I could help you out.
Same bro!
I didn’t know you had to do all this with a second m.2 and thought my harddrive upgrade came faulty and was about ready to return it. Thanks for a clean, easy to follow guide!
Glad I could help
Thank you for the tutorial, absolutely faultless and walked me through everything I needed to get my new drive working properly
Perfect 👍 Glad I could help.
Yeah help me too! thank you!
Thank you for a very clear and precise explanation.
This was my first time installing a "fancy" drive and I truly expected Win 11 to automatically detect it, with me having to format it like normally.
When it didn't show up in the file manager my heart literally stopped, because I honestly thought I had ruined it with static or broke the connector (MP600 Pro XT drive, so cheap...).
This video saved my sanity, thank you.
You're welcome 😃👍 Glad I could help.
What do I do if the NVME drive won't show up in disk management no matter what I try. I have Uninstaller, reinstalled, changed which port it is in on the motherboard, and various other solutions I've found online. I have two 980 pros and the first is my C drive but the second will not let me use it. It shows up in the bios, the device manager, and various other places but I can't get it to show up in disk management and so I am unable to initialize it or anything.
thats what im sayin
@@sauceybear3935 Just create a simple volume after right clicking disk management
I had this same issue. You need to set your BIOS to UEFI and then when you turn on your pc, go to drivers, scan for driver changes, update it if necessary and your second ssd should appear in disk management
Absolutely fantastic walk through. No nonsense, just straight to the point and helped me out. Great work 5 stars
Glad I could help 😃👍
I followed the instructions but after installing an extra SSD , the computer does not recognize installation, and thus SSD does not appear and I cannot locate it when accessing Disk Management. Any ideas?
Unfortunately for me, my drive isn't recognized at all. Not in bios or disk management on bottom slot. If I put it in the top slot, my computer freezes at the boot screen. I updated the bios and this still happens. The drive works in my laptop. And if I use my laptop nvme the boot screen won't freeze (but it does kick me to the bios and won't boot)
what mobo do u have?
Exactly what I was looking for, Thank You! Short, clear and concise.
Awesome 👍 Thanks for watching.
somebody build a statue for this HERO
I’m still new to PCs, and this stuff is completely foreign to me, but he made it super simple. Somebody write this man’s eulogy.
i dont have unalicated its just not showing up
Same
Your explanation was phenomenal. I really appreciate the simplicity of your instructions and how much thought went into each one. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Just got my new SSD up and formatted thanks to you man. Tutourial was super straight to the point, and easy to follow. Thank you so much!!!
You're very welcome 🤗
Absolutely wonderful walkthrough, I completely forgot needing to reinitialize and your instructions perfectly handled every step needed. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
what do i do if it doesn't show up in disk management??? Have I done something wrong? It's a samsung 1TB 990 pro SSD, so it has leds to show that it's on yet it doesnt show up in disk management.
i fear there may be static damage but if there's anyway to find out i would really appreciate some help.
I appreciate the tutorial, this method also works exactly the same for windows 10!
Glad I could help 😀👍
Terrific video. Had my new drive up and running in minutes and with confidence. Thank you
You're very welcome 👍
exactly what i needed. Simple and to the point. Appreciate it!
You're very welcome 👍
Dude you are a godsend!!! Just added a 1tb nvme 2.0 to my MSI laptop for gaming and your tutorial help me format it! For some reason my computer initially didn't recognize it and I thought I did something wrong but now now thanks to you, I've got 1.5 terabytes of memory to play with! Thank you so much for posting this!!
Glad I could help!
Thanks, Ken. Very helpful. All set up now with a lovely 1TB of storage for all those AAA games in my Steam library that wouldn't fit on my factory 500GB drive. 🙂👍
Glad I could help!
Every time I install a new drive. I come back to your video as a sanity check. This is the fourth time LOL! Thanks for putting this vid together. LIKED & SUB'd!
Awesome! Glad I can help and thank you for the support 🤗
got a 1tb SSD for Christmas that I had been procrastinating on installing for over a month because I didn't know what I was doing and was worried about breaking something. This video was super helpful, thanks!
Glad I could help!
You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Installed my new NVME and had no idea how to set it up. This was a flawless tutorial. Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
That was literally perfect. Please make more videos. I can't express how well you did. Thank you, man
Thank you for your kind words and support 👍
I absolutely agree, thank you so much for making this!
Quick question but I got my pc recently and currently have a 1TB m.2 ssd Im thinking of getting a 4tb m.2 ssd with it but it’ll go in an adapter so I can put it on the hardrive rack. If I were to do this would both of them sort of join together and be 5tb? Or does it not matter and I can choose where they are downloaded and it’s all still on the on the home page and stuff like that and I just have to click on the ssd to get some files
LOL! I couldn't find the 2nd M2 slot on my mother board, but double checked that it was listed in the specs. Glad I watched this because I was starting the think the two drives stacked in the same location somehow, but wasn't eager to try that! Thanks for filming your motherboard slot. Mine is nestled next to few SATA and I/O connector at the edge of the board. My main M2 slot stands out because of the heat sink, and it's located much closer to the CPU...go figure. Time to replace my mechanical data drive, as it's getting really long in the tooth! I started getting excited about NVME raid boards, but found out they're only compatible with AMD and Zeon chips. Intel Core i chips are left in the cold.
Thank you my friend. Very much appreciated. 7 minutes of pure knowledge and help, well produced and performed. Helped me out big time.
Glad it helped!
For those who dont have initialise, just right click in the unallocated disk and hit create simple volume, then follow the steps and dont change any setting in the wizard till your done and it will be created and show in THIS PC
Amazing and simple to follow. I was so scared to mess up my PC, but you really made it clear and simple
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help.
Nothing appeared under allocated
I would select FAT32 and MBR just to veer on the safe side. If you ever need to remove the drive and install it in a PC with an older version of windows you won't have any compatibility issues.
Thank you so much, for such a helpful and easy to follow tutorial, just built my first PC and this has put the cherry on the cake haha
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help.
Thank you. I really appreciate the speed at which you go through the steps. Not too fast, not too slow, just right. Subscribed.
Thank you for the kind words and support! Glad I could help you out 👍
im going to get a new m.2 Nvme SSD (im saving up for it) so thx for the tutorial its simple hope i dont format my actual SSD (im using ASUS tuf dash f15 if youre wondering)
Can you tell me if it is possible to install the m.2 speaker inside the computer as well, but on which data has already been recorded? Without formatting?
OMFG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I would literally buy you a coffee but I live in Australia 😂
Thanks, First time adding a 2nd Nvme drive
Glad I could help 😃🤗
Thanks man now I gotta learn how to copy everything from my hdd to my nvme and boot from it
2024 and it's very helpful
You're welcome 🤗
Thank you for anyone concerned its the exact same as windows 10.
So why doesn’t the storage view in the system settings update to show the full amount?
Thanks for the excellent video my friend 😊
The Lord’s love + grace be with you
His hope + peace, in Life, and beyond the grave
Hope you are all well and resting in Jesus saving love + grace 😊
Warmest Love + blessings friends 😊
Thank You! 👍

Thank you for the excellent guidance. It was straightforward and incredibly helpful. Your assistance deserves top marks. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!! Glad I could help 😃👍
Dude I was on the verge of upgrading my BIOS to detect my NVMe M.2 SSD, and right before I was going to do that I just said, "I'll research this a little more." Then I found out from your vid that all I had to do was scroll down a bit on the disk manager 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂. I feel like an idiot but at least im not stressing no mo
Thanks a lot my guy!
Glad I could help 😀👍
Thank you very much, was the best and most useful help for the issue that I just had for the past hour. Solved it quickly thanks to you, even Microsoft Support could not support that efficiently
Awesome 👍 Glad I could help!!
Your Video Helped Me So Much, I Have A Dell OptiPlex 7440, And I Couldn’t Find The Things You Said To Do, But After Awhile I Got It Figured Out. So Thank You From The Bottom Of My Heart. You Rock Brother.

Hello Northern Viking Everyday!
I appreciate the short and straight to the point tutorial! Now I have 2 working NVME's.
Glad I could help 😀👍
Simply cannot thank you enough for this video. Absolutely everything I was looking for and saved me money!! Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
Almost had a heart attack when the "Initialize disk" thing didn't pop up, and my drive didn't show up as unallocated either. I thought I had installed the drive incorrectly or it was broken. Turns out I just had to restart the PC and everything worked fine. Thanks for the guide!
Glad you got it sorted out! All the best.
My M.2 did not show up as unallocated. My BIOS says that I have 2 M.2 Drives plugged in but I don't see it in Disk Management
Damn i got scared , i did wvery step you did until the disk manager cuz i couldnt find the initialize button but it turns out i dont have to it just worked after pluging in 😅😅
Perfect 👍
Thank you , I know it's old post but it works. Just installed samsung 990 pro in skytech prebuilt 🙂
Awesome! Glad I could help.
My Family: Wow you built that computer yourself
Me: Yeah!
Actually me: (I watatched the youtube tutorials)
Lol 🤣
Keep doing what you do. You’re doing God’s work
Glad I could help 😀👍
Thanks, we got our son a 2TB drive very similar to the one you installed, we got it installed fine but this helped us initialize it and get it up and running. worked 100% same only difference was we are on Windows 10 still.
Awesome 👍 Glad it was helpful!!!
Thank you so much! Super helpful and just the right amount of information to walkthrough noobs like myself.
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much for making this video!! Was legit at my wits end on how to get my second m.2 to work on my first build yesterday
Glad it helped!
Thank you for the wonderful video! Please correct me if I’m wrong. This will now be basically an extra drive to store files and games on, right? You would not boot from this drive as it doesn’t have an windows installed on it, correct? (Sorry, English is my second language).
That is correct. This drive would be just for additional storage. Windows would still be on the original drive.
