And what is telling you it is supposed to be a 1TB?

Did you buy this new?

Run CrystalDiskInfo and show us the screencap.
That will probably expose the model number of the drive.

I bought this used, but as i said I was able to install Counter Strike GO and it works really well. I'm not sure what it's is, around 500-1TB

What is CrystalDiskInfo ? I'll get it is it safe though?

Used system?
Did you personally do a full wipe and reinstall of the OS?
If not, you NEED to.

Part number of "RBUSNS8154P3128GJ"

That is a 128GB Kingston mSATA SSD.
Small and crappy.

If the seller told you "1TB", he lied.


For the 'full wipe'....Taking a used system and just using it, you are trusting ALL previous users of that system.
Not just the guy that sold this to you, but anyone who has ever touched it.


Full wipe and reinstall

Why would he sell me a hard drive that has 128 gb? The system seems to be running good on counterstrike.

Because he removed the 1TB to sell elsewhere, for $75.
Installed the 128GB mSATA drive that cost him $15.

Or, an earlier 'owner' did this.


Either way....it is a crappy 128GB mSATA drive.
There is no "1TB" anything.

CDI is showing it's a 128GB ssd which is kind of small if you want to game.
I think it's also showing your out of spare blocks which is not good.

Consider getting a bigger ssd while that one still works and just clone and replace.

Okay guys BIG problem. My computer is crashing with a Microsoft blue screen... I think I might have got ripped off. The computer works fine on games though, this might be because of the small SSD? It crashes every 1-3 hours
