    2 x m.2 ssd's as 2 partitions, 1 for os and 1 for all other software


    I have 3 m.2 nvme ssd's installed on my mobo. I want to use two of them as 2 partitions and the third for my data / files. Can I put os on 1 partition and all other software on the other partition and how do I achieve this?

  2. M.2 SSD Partitioning

    My OS is installed on an 128GB SATA SSD,

    All other applications, when ever possible I used to install on another 60 SATA SSD.

    I am very happy with the performance. It is pretty fast, better than if it were on the same disk. I have tested the difference.

    Now I have a new ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard with Two M.2 slots.

    I am going to buy a 512 GB M.2 SSD.

    As I have under stood the SSD consists of 4 Nos of NAND Chis.

    Therefore on each NAND chip, I presume will have capacity of 64 GBs.

    My question is are they really independent ?

    Can they behave as independent Hard disks?

    If yes,

    Can I partition my new M.2 SSD into an 198GB and 64GB partitions -that means 3 NAND chips and one NAND Chip?

    and enjoy the same or better speed than before that I had with the SATA SSD?

    M.2 SSD Drive With Windows 10 Listed as Disk 1 in Disk Management,

    Hi, In my pc M.2 SSD with Windows 10 OS is listed as Disk 1 and not as Disk 0 in Disk Management. Also, the same drive is listed as Removable devices which is actually internal SSD.

    Can anybody help me resolve this, please?

    M.2 SSD Drive With Windows 10 Listed as Disk 1 in Disk Management,

    normally laptop comes with primary Hdd, so. bios gives as sata 0 and if we add SSD in M.2 means, bios assigned as sata 1.

    So only windows assigns according to Bios.

    I have M.2 SSD as disk 1and HDD as disk 0, windows os is installed on Ssd
