#

i tried plugging the m.2 in different system to check if it was working and it was ! then i switched the positions of disk p and n and they both didnt appear connected in bios

#

i tried switching them back again to the original positions and now its fixed !

#

why name your os drive ~ @prisma depot

#

why not main drive or smt

#

and all 3 drives can you tell me for each are they hdd or ssd

#

idk which is which

#

im very courious idk why

#

are you using a ssd for boot and hhd for games?

prisma depot Dec 31, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

the boot drive is a 120gb ssd that i had before upgrading to my new build, the other 2 are nv2 m.2 2tb and 980 2tb
i just named the boot drive 70gb in relation to the capacity of the drive aftera fresh windows install so if the drive ever gets bloated i can delete any unnecessary files in the boot drive

#

now if you're wondering why not just remove the ssd and use the 2 m.2s its because i dont wanna lose files if i ever had to reinstall windows

#

ease of access i guess idk i dont think its very smart but its convenient
