Initialize New Drive
You need to initialize a new disk in Disk Management if a new M.2 SSD is installed. To do so, in the search box on the taskbar, type Disk Management. You can also search Computer Management instead, and then go to Storage > Disk Management. In Disk Management, right-click the disk you want to initialize, and then click Initialize Disk (shown above). If the disk is listed as Offline, first right-click it and select Online. Choose GPT partition style then click OK. GPT is more robust and allows for volumes bigger than 2 TB. The older Master Boot Record (MBR) disk type is used by older 32-bit PCs.
Format New Drive
- Select and right-click the unallocated space on the drive, then select New Simple Volume.
- Select Next, specify the size of the volume (you’ll likely want to stick with the default, which uses the whole drive), and then select Next.
- Specify the drive letter you want to assign and then select Next.
Safely Disconnect
Windows: Double-click on the Safely Remove icon in your Windows System Tray.
This will launch the Safely Remove program. Then click on the device you wish
to remove and click on the Stop button.
Mac: In Mac OS the drive appears as an icon on the desktop. Before unplugging
the drive, it needs to be dismounted by dragging the drive to the Trash Can,
once the activity light has gone out, you can safely remove the drive.
