1TB SSD shows only 111GB max space

[Nakashi]

Hello there,
I have 1TB SSD, yet while formating, I havent find a way to achieve more than 111GB. I have surfed the internet, yet none of the solutions I found worked for me.

Hey there, Nakashi.

Would you please post a screenshot of what you see in Disk Management about the drive and its partitions?
I'd recommend that you try the SSD with a different computer and try to reformat it, to see if the same thing happens. I'd also suggest that you test the drive with an SSD diagnostics tool, to make sure that everything's OK with it. You could contact the SSD manufacturer's customer support and ask for assistance, to see if they can offer a solution for that issue.
Sometimes some older motherboard models may have issues with larger SSD drives, so you could check if a 1TB SSD is compatible with your mobo. Also try updating the motherboard's BIOS/UEFI and the SSD's firmware if there's an available update.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.

Is your computer a prefabricated unit or did you build it? If you did not build it who did and which model is it? If you did build it, what are the system specifications? We need a little more information to work with so that we can help you resolve the issue.

Thank you

Well from what I can see in the screenshot and the fact that the drive is recognized by the diagnostics tool as a 120GB SSD, this is really a 120GB drive. The model of the drive shown on the screenshot also leads to a 120GB SSD. I'd recommend that you get in touch with the place you bought it from. Perhaps there was some kind of a mix-up if you've ordered a 1TB SSD.
