SSD isnt showing correct size

[nightslashs]

I have an intel SSDSC2KW240H6 which comes in at 256 Gb which post format only has 128 Gb available to it as seen in below screenshots:

I am guessing that you used a cloning software to create the volume on the 240 GB disk. You didn't tell the clone software to resize the volume to the maximum size. Is that a correct guess ? Why the other 100GB doesn't show as an unitialized volume? I don't know.

That is showing exactly what it would be if it were a 128GB drive.
Has it always been thus?
What have you done with the drive since taking it out of the box?

Since Removing it I did as Kanewolf suspected and used a cloning software which was originally supposed to expand the volume to the correct size but it has been 128Gb ever since.

Note: I honestly cannot remember what it read as prior to cloning I didnt even check honestly.

The problem is....Disk Management should show the rest of it as Unallocated space.
It does not.

Is it possible to manually allocate this through the command line utility Diskpart or via registry?

Well, Googling the model number you provided indicates that it should be a 240GB drive. Perhaps you got a mis-labeled unit. What does it show for capacity in the BIOS?

Not in the registry.

Possibly diskpart, but the fact that Disk Management reports exactly what a 128GB drive should look like, and does NOT show any unallocated space leads me to a potential mislabeled drive.


open Powershell
Diskpart
List disk
see what it returns.

This is the output from mine:

Welp I'm officially confused now

That being said this means I can probably expand it via diskpart I would assume

In bios it shows correctly as a 240 I believe

The next thing would be:
List Partition and List Volume

This is very weird.

curiouser and curiouser

It is telling us it is 223GB (as it should be), but nowhere does it list the empty space.

 

[nightslashs]

I figured it out!

I ended up downloading the ISO for Gparted and running it on my computer which allowed me to manually edit the bit offsets of the partitions as to allow the partition the span the entire drive. Everything is working correctly now thank you for all your help guys!

Whew!
Glad you got it fixed.
