    it's worth noting it might also pop-up a message to "initialize disk" and a choice of MBR or GPT. Unless you have a special legacy system, you'll definitely want to select GPT. From there, follow the video.

    For those who have encountered the same problem as me. I thought my m2 was broken, bought a new one but it wasn't recognized by the diskmanager BUT it was shown in my BIOS. Fix was go to Device Manager and look for your Storage Controller. IF you find AMD RAID Bottom there, deinstall this driver so the Windows driver reinstalls. This fixed my problem! Hope this helps other unlucky people the many hours it took me to figure that treasure out! :)

    You can also select multiple drives and put them in the Dynamic Striped layout so you can have multiple smaller drives acting as one big unified drive. This acts more like a basic RAID 0 setup so be aware that if data loss occurs on one drive, you might not be able to recover the data from all of them.

    heh, up and running in no time. So I went through the experience recently buying a second SSD drive. My first one had a split partitioning, 500GB for the boot drive and the rest for applications. After getting the second drive (which was easy to set up doing exactly this), I wanted to restructure the partitions on the first drive, 50/50 split.
    After moving some apps from the old drive to the new one, I shrunk the old drive's Apps partition down to 1TB. Went to expand the boot partition up to 1TB, except there wasn't that option. Because the unallocated space on the drive had the Apps partition between it and the boot partition. In order to expand a partition, the unallocated space has to be connected to it.
    There's a few third party programs that allow you to move partitions around in the physical space of the drive. So if you need to do this, they are easy to find with a simple google search, and you can get it done with free options. Don't pay for it. Definitely something that ought to be included with Disk Management already.

I’ve checked everything and it’s configured the exact same way you did in this video. I’ve configured tons of drives over the years and I’ve never had this happen before. But like I said, it works fine, speeds are also fine..

    It also can ask if you want GPT or MBR.

    Gotta drive related question for you, Jay (or anyone for that matter):
    I'm running out of space on my one NVMe, so I'm looking to add one just for games. My motherboard (Asus Strix B450-f) has an extra M.2 slot below the graphics card, but the manual says if populated, the PCI-e slot will be reduced from 16x to 8x (running an RTX 3080). Will this drastically affect my performance or should I just get a 2.5" SATA SSD?
    Love the channel!

    • @AndersHass
      @AndersHass Год назад

      I would just get a SATA SSD instead of dealing with that hassle, even if your current GPU doesnt have any issue it is possible the future one will and I would think it is more likely that you will upgrade the GPU more frequently than the motherboard. You very likely won’t really need the speed anyway, the biggest uplift with SSD is the smaller reads and writes and not the massive ones you would need to do to get to 1+ GB/s speed. If you needed the higher speed then you can use your NVMe specifically for that.

    Should do a video on recovering a partition table using DMDE. Tool makes it really easy. For some reason I’d not been able to narrow down windows 10 did not like my 3900x and all Sata drives would lose their table by becoming corrupted on reboot or from updating/entering bios. Just randomly started happening. Since I installed a new nvme, 5950x it’s been fine. So probably the cpu. Wonder if it’s under warranty still since that’s the only thing changed the could be capable of causing it.

    If its a brand new HARD drive you should NOT use quick format, doing a full format will increase speeds when using it. This does apply for spinning rust, i don't know if it matters for SSD's (my first thought; for SSD you should use quick format only)
