It doesn't automatically have a partition.But still, I dont get it by "appear as separate data". Is it mean that when we open windows explorer, our one partition ssd will be two partitions? Like from only Drive C: to Drive C: and D: ?
I guess I have to read everything more carefully. Thanks dudeFrom AMD website:
What size of SSDs are supported?
StoreMI for AMD supports a 256GB Fast Tier (SATA SSD or NVMe). The remaining capacity will be mounted as a standalone virtual SSD device. If the SSD is larger, than 256GB, then the rest of the SSD will appear as a separate data drive which may be formatted as a separate volume e.g. note that users who want larger SSD support can purchase AMD FuzeDrive for Ryzen.

Thank you for the reply, I understand now ☺️It doesn't automatically have a partition.
You'll need to open Disk Management, and you'll see the two disks you've added to your StoreMI tier either grayed out (for non-bootable or MBR bootable configurations) or with two OEM partitions (UEFI bootable configuration). Assuming your SSD is bigger than the 256GB limit, then you will have two additional (virtual) drives. One will be the StoreMI tier made up of your slow drive plus 256GB, the other will be a "vdrive" made up of the remainder of your fast drive.
You can create a new partition and NTFS filesystem on the vdrive (e.g. drive D: ). Note that if you ever want to use the Remove Fast Media feature to move everything back to the slow disk (e.g., you want to change to another fast drive), you will need to delete the contents of the vdrive.
