    Adding second SSD to desktop as first SSD is full


    Hi.

    My current SSD is almost full on my desktop. The SSD is installed on the motherboard. I have purchased and installed a second SSD but a 2.5" as the motherboard does not have space for a second SSD. How do I now work with this setup when the first SSD becomes full? Running Windows 10 Pro on a Dell Precision 3620. SSD on Motherboard is 256GB, 2.5" SSD is also 256GB. This is a temporary fix for running out of room until I can afford to buy new computers. Thanks in advance for any help!

    :)

    Z Book BSOD with Second SSD Drive

    Hi all

    I have an issue with an HP Z Book. It is a new Generation 6 device and came with a pre-installed second SSD drive.

    All worked fine until I tried to put our corporate image onto the primary OS SSD.

    Firstly, the new OS installed onto the secondary SSD rather than the primary.

    So I disconnected/removed the secondary, recreated the partition on the primary and loaded our stock OS.

    The machine now works absolutely fine, as long as I do not try to re-introduce the second SSD drive.

    If I reinstall this, the machine boots up OK for a second or two and then BSOD's.

    Can anyone suggest the reason for this issue - the BSOD message reported a kernel error.

    Any ideas on steps to take to resolve this?

    Thanks

    Phil
