Hey guys, so I tried researching a bit and couldnt find much.
So basically I built a new PC which has an M.2, SSD and HDD which are 500 gb, 120 gb and 3 Tb respectively. I installed the windows into the M.2. And wanted to make separate drives for the remaining two drives but I cannot. They only show up as a spanned, striped or mirrored volume. So I went ahead and made a spanned volume.There is no option to make it a separate volume whether they are GPT or MBR. I think i mistakenly put the m.2 drive as GPT as well. And I have to format or something to change it but that is besides the point.
Also the drives are plugged into SATA ports 3 and 4 out of 6. Ports 5 and 6 share bandwidth with the M.2 so I didnt use them. And connectors/ports 1 and 2 are empty.
How can I make separate simple volumes ? I have been getting quite a few BSODs after gaming for a while, usually memory/ driver related and was thinking maybe the drives have something to do with it ? Though I doubt much data is being written to the drive. I am playing CSGO atm which is installed on the spanned drive.
Hardware:
Asus TUF b450 Gaming Plus
Crucial MX500 M.2
Adata SU650 SSD
Toshiba P300 HDD
Also, the M.2 is situated under the GPU and it usually heats up when gaming. I have seen it reach about 67 celcius. Maybe that is the cause ? Any help is greatly appreciated !
