Toshiba Ultrabook SSD Reporting wrong size

[kdt1970]

I have a Toshiba Satellite Ultrabook E45t-A4300 and the main storage hard drive failed. So I did a complete partition delete on the ssd drive and installed wndows 10. Now it says the 32 gig (THNSNX032GTNT) SSD drive is only 11.2 gigs.

Hey there, @kdt1970!

I'd strongly recommend you consider replacing this SSD with a larger one. I assume that the storage space is so small due to the Windows installation as the system files also take up space on your storage drive. (~ around 12 GB)
I'd definitely not consider it safe to use such a small SSD for your system in the laptop. These drives are usually used as cache for a mechanical hard drive that is a lot larger. Any below 120 GB or even 250 GB if you are playing games is not a good storage solution for your primary drive.

Either get a new SSD or buy a replacement HDD for the laptop.

Good luck! Hope this was helpful.

It has the ssd and a 750 gig hdd in it. I just cant figure out why it only reads as 16 gig and not 32 gig. Windows is installed on the HDD now. it was only installed on the ssd for diagnosis proposes.

Hey there again, @kdt1970!

Well, according to the screenshots from your Disk Management that HDD is not recognized by the system. I'd recommend you re-install the OS onto the HDD and then format this small SSD and configure it as cache for the HDD (I suppose this was the initial setup). The correct capacity should display after a proper secure erase on the SSD.

Hope it works. Let me know how it goes!
