Hoshī Update - Extra Storage


Inland Professional 240GB SATA SSD + SATA Cables
Got the SSD a while back, but hadn’t had the motivation to use it 'til now.
Also, about two days ago, I realized I didn’t have extra SATA data cables lying around.
Managed to mooch the SATA cables from the coworker I sold the GIGABYTE MOBO to. Bless.

Hoshī - Cable Management (After)
The freaking rat’s nest is growing. :tired_face:
…Just gonna slap the side panel on and forget about it. :derpdorp:


Disk Management
It’s the F: Drive.
Yes, it’s called NSFW. Yes, it’s in plain sight in File Explorer.
…Don’t worry about it. :rofl:

Disk Management - New Volumes
Been a while since I last touched Disk Management, so I looked up Jayztwocent’s Post-Build Guide. Steps listed below for Future 'Chew’s reference, since she disdains watching video tutorials.

  1. Start Disk Management.
  2. Initialize Disk should appear for new drives.
    • Select GPT (GUID Partition Table).
    • The new drive will appear with a black bar and the Unallocated description.
  3. Right-click on the new drive and select New Simple Volume.
    • Specify Volume Size:
      • Simple Volume Size in MB: Default Value.
    • Assign a Drive Letter.
    • Format Partition:
      • File System: NTFS.
      • Allocation Unit Size: Default.
      • Volume Label: Drive Name.
      • Perform a Quick Format.
  4. Complete the New Simple Volume Wizard, and the new drive should appear in File Explorer.
