If you are using an m.2 drive it can disable some of the sata ports on the motherboard in some cases so make sure to check for that if you don’t see drives showing up.
Every chipset has a predetermined number of sata ports and M.2 slots that it can support. The motherboard shouldn’t have more ports than it can support. If it isn’t showing up in Windows, make sure it’s showing up in your bios. If it isn’t then make sure the power and sata data cable are connected properly. Then once you get into Windows you need to use disk management to partition the drive (to avoid future pain i would advise just making it all one partition and not multiple smaller ones). This has to be done for almost any drive though, not just sata
@@titaniac3037 Dude, you wrote a whole essay just to be wrong... If you connect an M.2 SSD to some boards that can lead to disabled SATA ports. Or sometimes boards allocate the same chipset PCI-E lanes to X1 slots and an M.2 port so both certainly won't run simultaneously. Chipsets only have a limited amount of bandwith and board manufacturers equip them with more ports than they can theoretically handle to cover a broad userbase. Nothing new
@@omegaPhix That's serious BS, bro. That means those bastards are charging us for ports and slots that we maybe never gonna use. They don't even mention it on e-commerce websites.

HELP, i have a m.2, and an ssd. my m.2 is fully functional. My ssd is showing up in bios AND device manager disc drives, BUT IT IS NOT showing up in the create and format partitions.
So right now I’m using the plug of sata to usb and I have the ssd running fine that way, I wanted to plug it directly into the motherboard like the way you showed, I ordered a data cable from amazon and hooked the sata cable of the psu to it, it ran verrryyyy slowwww and windows was unusable, I tried to change the sata port and the sata cable used two times and its the same.. what can I do? There is still like 2 sata cables of the psu that I haven’t tried but booting it up takes so long that I gave up trying the rest of the sata cables.
i have a question i bought a SSD but it didnt have onenof the cables in the box do i buy it seperately? please answer i really need this and if so where can i buy the correct cable
I just built a PC and transferred all the data from the laptop to the PC but now it isn’t showing my new SSD but the prior laptop drive. The SSD shows in my device manager as but not under the partition list and I am unable to install games to the SSD.

Cuz it's cheaper lol I bought 5 1tb ssd on sale for 30$ each 120$ total a 5tb single m2 gen 4 nvme would cost 300$+ my motherboard has so many ssd slots so it didn't matter but if I only had 1 slot I'd spend the extra cash on a 5tb
SSD faster than hard drive. Harddrive better for mass storage. So basically if you just want speed M.2 SSD. If you want mass storage hard drive. If you want middle ground. SSD I just take is as. Bigger it physically is slower it is also just with how its connected is like the real reason. M.2 are directly into the mother board so. are fastest.
Hard drives are cheap. SSD are fast. Don't use hard drives for anything but storing things away you access occasionally, like movies or downloads or backups. SSD are for anything you use all the time, like the operating system or games. SSD have limited writes, they will wear out so you can't write to them eventually. Hard drives don't wear out, but can break more easily from mechanical stresses like vibration or dropping. Remember to back up your data in any case.
yes and no, I'm still annoyed people buy HDDs and they are kids mostly, so you know your ass a game will be installed there and congratulations on your loading game.... :)

There are no moving parts, you can just shove the SSD in there and nothing bad Will happen.
Also, watch out for those damned 90 degree SATA connectors! Just buy some straight ended cables to save your brain.

The easiest way is to go online and buy a new PC. It only takes a few minutes.
so instead of 50-100 dollars you pay 300-1500 dollars when you run out of storage?

When i plug the power to the hardrive my computer turns off till unplugged
What is with the flashing one word everything you say on the screen?
Incorrect. SSD goes at the bottom of the case in the front where I can see it.
lmao then why do they make ssd mounts on the back? just shut up
Question, when you buy an SSD does it come with the cables, or do you need to adquire them separately?
Usually, a motherboard includes two such cables. Otherwise, you do need to buy them separately.
Since my HDD is empty, I just plug it in without any other steps required?
Talk fast enough. Slow the video down

Does anyone know how it's labled on the motherboard for me to connect it, too? Would it say USB_12 or anything of that nature?
WD Green is a terrible drive. Avoid ANY WD/SanDisk SATA drives. Use something like KIOXIA TC10 or Crucial MX500 instead.
