Asked By TechieNerd99 On

I'm new to PCs and I'm curious about adding a new SSD. If I install it, will it combine its storage with my existing SSD, or will it be recognized as a separate drive? I could really use some guidance on this!

In most cases, yes, the new SSD will be a separate drive, which is the easiest way to manage it. However, if you want to combine the storage from both SSDs, you can set them up as a "Storage Space" in Windows if you're using that OS.

I’m a bit confused about the Storage Space thing. How do I set that up? Can someone help with the steps?

When you add a new SSD, it will show up as a separate drive in your system with its own drive letter. So, don’t worry about merging storage—each SSD will function independently. Usually, your current SSD will be assigned the (C:) drive letter, and the new one will get its own letter after you set it up.
