    2nd (better) SSD bought, how do I set it up?


    I currently have an M,2SATA installed in my computer.
    I have recently purchased a Samsung 970 Evo with more memory.
    In addition, I have a hard drive enclosure for external use, since my PC has only one SSD slot.
    But now I want to install the better SSD as primary hard disk, so that I can use the hard disk better and run Windows over it.
    How should I proceed best? I have backed up all important data for the process on a USB stick and reset the entire PC.
    Thanks in advance for the answers!

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    How to view 2nd drive?

    as suggested by Steve (enssenbe). Open Admin Command Prompt and type:
    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    is your SSD listed ?

    2nd (better) SSD bought, how do I set it up?

    How to set a password on 2nd SSD on Windows 10?

    I have Dell 3779 with 2 SSDs:

    • Toshiba M.2 KBG30ZMS128G, used as primary drive (OS)
    • Samsung EVO 860, used for data

    In Bios settings I am able to set the password just for the OS drive.

    Is there a way so secure the 2nd hard drive as well so it would be unlocked on boot time the same way as the primary one?

    The goal is that in case of losing the laptop the 2nd drive with all data would not be easy accessible the same way as the primary is.

    I am pretty sure this won't be possible via BIOS, so probably something with Windows 10?

    The password for both drives can be the same.
