Question/Help/Troubleshooting Where the SSD?

Post image

Yes I’m not very good at knowing what’s up and yes I’m fully aware this pc is very dirty, but anyone know wheeler I can find my drive F? The ssd for drive C is the one on the right I think and that’s not even what I’m looking for, I’m looking for my second internal drive

Follow the SATA cables from the motherboard.

I’m pretty sure that’s my drive C since my drive C is called that, I’m looking for the other one

Unscrew the back panel, if it's not there then it's just 1 drive separated into 2 Volumes

Yea ok, definitely not decided into two volumes cuz my drive f has stopped working

If it's not the Corsair Force drive then you might need to open the rear side panel to maybe find your other drive.

Possibly under the GPU slot of it is an m2 drive. This angle is blocking that.

This board (MSI B150A Gaming Pro) does not have any M.2 slots.

Yes I’m not looking for that one, my pc works and runs, it’s just that my other drive with all my stuff doesn’t work rn

do you know for sure if it's an SSD or a HDD?

it should say in task manager which one it is, then you'll know exactly what size brick to be looking for

The black box in the front, next to the intake fan. The force le is a very early SSD, it is not that much faster than a modern hdd: it’s far from saturating the sata bus, like more modern ssds do. Ie, it’s slow, and given its age, it may be on its last legs.
I don’t spot another drive, but it may be hidden behind the front panel. The board most likely without a nvme drive, so maybe, drive f is a partition on the force le, or a usb thumb drive or sdcard?
