Windows 10: What kind of disk in my computer?

I am trying to determine the type of disk my computer has. The system reports the following.What confuses me is that it indicates SSD under mediatype, but the friendlyname shows 932HDD. The way I'm reading this is that the Intel Optane memory is fooling the system into thinking there is an SSD when it's really just a glorified buffering system. My questions are:1 do I have a HDD drive in the system?2 will I get a significant performance boost by installing an SSD?

kind of weird Disk usage problem

Hello,



I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.



I request you to try the below methods:

Method 1:

I would suggest you to Run maintenance task and check if it helps.

The Run maintenance task checks issues that might slow down your computer's performance, such as how many users are currently logged on to the computer and whether multiple programs are running at
the same time.



Follow the below steps:

• Right click on the Start menu.
• Select Control Panel.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• Click on Run maintenance task under
  System and Security.

Method 2:

To defragment your hard disk

• Open Disk Defragmenter by clicking the Start
  button. In the search box, type Disk Defragmenter, and then, in the list of results, click
  Disk Defragmenter.
• Under Current status, select the disk you want to defragment.
• To determine if the disk needs to be defragmented or not, click
  Analyze disk. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
• Once Windows is finished analyzing the disk, you can check the percentage of fragmentation on the disk in the
  Last Run column. If the number is above 10%, you should defragment the disk.
• Click Defragment disk. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Method 3:

If issue still persist, you can try Clean Boot and check if it helps.

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^


Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

diskpart doesn't show disk

Hey,

I am trying to install Win10 on a mac book air.

However the diskpart does not list the disk even after reformatting the partition as NTFS per suggestion.

read through this solution but cannot move to step 1 listed in the solution by Ivan as that disk doesn't see that partition it was just able to reformat.

Regards
