  1. m.2 Drive reporting filled up when there is plenty of reported space.


    Windows 10 1903 , brand new install build Build 18363. (new)


    Have 370 gig partition, on an m.2 . As you can see from the chkdsk output below, I have 155 gig available. No errors reported

    Also using compression, which should give me even more actual storage of data. Always has.

    Just went to write a file of only 112 gig ,and it stopped half way through with an 'out of space' error , so only 50 gig or so caused this ???

    Have system restore turned off for this partition. System Restore Volume reports zero bytes, but not sure that is accurate.


    What is going on with this ?






    C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk d:
    The type of the file system is NTFS.
    Volume label is New Volume.

    Just ran another test, copying an existing file and had no problem filling up 112 gig .

    So the size error might have been some other issue, copying from an external drive.

    Trying that again

    Drive Space Inconsistently reported

    I am trying to clean up some free space on my SSD C: drive, and I am getting some inconsistent information depending on the tool I use to look at drive usage.

    If I look at the drive through file explorer, I see the drive is 232GB, with 112GB free (120GB Used).

    If I look at disk usage through windirstat (run as admin to see all files) it reports 106.5GB of files on the drive, so (125.5GB free).

    If I go into the c: drive, and select all files (Hidden and System files, page file, hybernate/etc), it shows 94.8GB of files 93.2GB on disk (I have a few compressed directories), meaning there should be 137.2GB of free space.

    All told thats a 25GB difference in free space depending on where I look. I checked for system snapshots using vssadmin list shadowstorage, and it is showing 0 usage. I emptied my recyclebin. I am not sure what else could be using the space. I've got plenty of free space on the drive now, but a missing 10% is driving me nuts.

  3. Where's the Windows 10 compatibility report?

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are unable to get the compatibility report.

    I will certainly help you with this.

    Please provide the below information.

    1. From which operating system you upgraded to Windows 10?

    2. Did you check the desktop screen for the report?

    I would suggest you to go through the below steps:

    Steps: If you are unable to find the file on desktop, you can try to check in the system drive.


    • Press Windows key+E.

    • Double click on C: drive (default system drive).

    • On the top right corner in the search bar, type the compatibility file name and search

    Please post back with the status of the issue and we will be glad to assist you further.

    m.2 Drive reporting filled up when there is plenty of reported space.

    Storage space keeps reporting a drive is disconnected

    I've created a three-drive, parity storage space under Windows 10. On an occasional, though not infrequent basis, it reports one of the drives is "disconnected". But the drive is, in fact, connected hardware-wise. The only thing that I've found that corrects
    this is to shut-down the computer and then start it. A restart does not correct this error. After the shut-down/start-up, it finds the drive and repairs the pool. It has now happened twice since installing Windows 10 just over a week ago.

    I am wondering if this might be related to one of the drives being connected as a IDE "slave". I don't know why that would matter given there's nothing really different operationally between a slave vs master IDE but it is one thing I've noted. The motherboard
    supports six SATA2 ports though the BIOS allows for eight IDE connections. Here's how they're currently connected:

    • 0 master - Boot SSD drive
    • 0 slave - empty
    • 1 master - CD/DVD
    • 1 slave - Storage SSD drive
    • 2 master - Storage SSD drive
    • 3 master - Storage SSD drive
    • 4 master - not supported by hardware
    • 4 slave - not supported by hardware
    Specifications:

    • This is a clean install of Windows 10 x64, 8GB ram, E8400 Core Duo. BIOS is up-to-date.
    • Boot drive is Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB.
    • Storage Space is comprised of three Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB set for parity.
