Drive Shows But Not As Ssd Windows 11

Windows 11 pro in the USB drive very practical

I've used this ssd for multiple pcs and it has always been great, it is the fastest ssd I've used and it shows, from loading windows to one of my games I keep getting surprises when I use a different ssd because the load time are noticeable, overall very reliable and usefull

Works perfect for my use. Just need windows 11, SSD, and ram and you are good to go. Just be aware the drivers are now from ASUS since they are the new company that is making the NUC.

This SSD was highly recommended for my new Windows 11 PC that I had built. It's VERY fast and since there's no moving parts, makes my new PC very quite.

This was my first NVMe SSD purchase, and I could not be happier! It's been running great, and my temps are great too! I was surprised how fast Windows 11 installed on this thing. It had those files copied over and installing in hardly no time. I've installed Windows many times, but never seen it install that fast. No issues with gaming. Games load pretty fast. Drive installation was easy. My motherboard had an included beefy heatsink, so I did not have to purchase one. So keep in mind, you don't need to buy a heatsink if your motherboard already includes a decent one. Yeah, so far all is good and hoping it stays this way! And I would certainly recommend this drive! Lastly, be sure to pull off the protective film covering the thermal pad on back of the heatsink before installing your drive. I've watched some YouTube videos of some installing their drives and forgetting to remove that film. That's not good! My System Below. System Name: GO DAWGS!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fast boot with Windows 11! Samsung Magician provides good drive status info and automatically keeps SSD updated. And, data transfer from HDD to SSD was simple, quick and without problems.

Great Flash drive for loading windows 11...Kinston has always been good for me, and I really like the price...

These just work. Unlike Sabrent, which sometimes shows up weirdly as a hub or something in Windows, these instantly show the drive as a drive on the computer as though the cable was built into/with the drive if that makes sense, not a device between the drive and computer. Transfer speed is good, I use 4 of these with Samsung 8tb SSDs on a mac with no issue.

Are you a Windows user? Great. Here's what you need to do as this drive is formatted for MAC OS. Images included in this post with instructions 1)plug in the drive to your PC 2)open Disk Management. Where is that? Go to Help and Search 3) look for the Disk that shows 3726.02 Gig this is your new drive. 4)single click on the section that shows: 3725.83 then left click and Delete this volume. **Be Sure you are deleting the CORRECT volume! if you are not sure or biting your nails get professional help with this scenario! 5)Note the Disk# such as Disk 1 or Disk 2 etc and when the pop occurs select only THAT matching Disk# in my case it was #3 as in the image. 6)Once deleted it will show on your screen as Unallocated 3725.83 7)Right Click and choose New Simple Volume 8)Next prompt Assign a Drive Letter. I chose S for Sandisk though you can choose whichever you like that is available. Click Next. 9)Give the Volume a Name. I chose SanDisk 4TB but you can choose anything you wish, even Santa Claus, Easter Bunny etc :). Click Next 10)You are Done. The drive will now show in Windows for the Drive Letter you have chosen

This little USB drive is used to house a portable Windows 11 Pro system. Can be used to boot up any system such as in hotel bussiness center or library. The metal case protects it from being in a pocket or bag every day plus helps with heat dissipation.
