Windows 10: Why is my 2tb SSD formatted to only 500gb?

So, I bought a new computer IBUYPOWER RBY slhbg227 about half a year ago and I just realized that even though it says I have a capacity of 1.9tb in the task manager, it also says that only 466gb of it is formatted??? When I go into files it also says I only have 466gb of space. I have no idea how to fix this, but is there a way to get the rest of my space back without losing everything already stored?

:)

 

How do I set up 2 drives with one being for the Oz and the other data? I have a 500gb SSD and a 2tb sata drive and want to make the ssd for the os only. Any help out there?

Any help for my issue. I have a 500gb ssd and it is getting full and I also have a 2tb sata

that is new. How do I set both up to work with the ssd as primary and the sata as data?

 

64Gb SSD for OS or 2Tb HDD for storage ?!

I suggest that you get the 2tb for storage. SSDs are only useful if you want to boot things fast like OS and programs. I actually suggest you get both if you have that many movies.

 

Cannot Format HD


Need to initialize it as GPT disk type with HD > 2TB:
From Admin command prompt:

1. diskpart
2. list disk =====> Take a note of disk # for the 4TB HD
3. select disk # ====> From step 2
4. clean
5. exit

Open Disk Management and initialize the disk as GPT, create simple then format.
