    SSD showing as 4 separate drives in disk manager.


    I have recently bought a 8TB SSD, and it is showing up as 4 different drives in disk management. I have also unallocated all the storage in an attempt to reformat the drive to be one disk, but I am having trouble getting it to work.

    :)

    Disk Management

    Hi Keith,

    Thanks for providing the detail that was requested previously. Since the disk management screen that you saw is showing greyed out options, we suggest that you follow the steps below to change the partition type of your internal drive:

    • Open Disk Management then right click the partition on the disk you want to covert and select Delete Volume.
    • Once you complete the process you will see the whole disk shown as two separate unallocated spaces. Right-click the disk and select Convert to GPT disk.

    After the conversion, you will be able to use the whole disk and then you can create new separate partitions.

    We look forward to your response to our queries.

    Disk Management for External SSD drive

    I bought a Samsung 500 GB SSD T5 and I'd like to use it without the Samsung app, just as an external drive. Disk management shows it as a 42 MB partition. I'd like to delete this partition and reclaim the rest of my 500 GBs but nothing I do will allow
    this. Is this an issue with the drive interface being locked to prevent this use?

    Any suggestions?

    SSD showing as 4 separate drives in disk manager.

    My Centon 120 gb SSD shows up in BIOS and Win10 Device Manager, but does not show up in Disk Management to enable formatting. How can I format this SSD?

    My Centon 120 gb SSD shows up in BIOS and Win10 Device Manager, but does not show up in Disk Management to enable formatting. How can I format this SSD?

    I have a new Dell 8900 with updated drivers and software. I have not added as SSD before and I am afraid I am missing something obvious.

    The drive shows up in the BIOS in SATA 4 port. It also is in the Device Manager under the Disk Drives heading as SATA SSD. It does not show up in the listing of drives under Disk Management.

    I know it needs to be formatted, but it does not have a drive letter assigned and I do not see how to get it one.

    I did try Uninstalling the driver under the Device Manager, it just found the same info after scanning for new hardware.

    Thanks for your help...
