Asus G11cd
Win 10
i7 6700
16gb 2133 ram
gtx 1080
512gb Samsung ssd.

So I filled this thing up pretty fast and I bought a 960gb Sandisk SSD to give me more space.

I installed fairly easily but when I went to view my drive in "This PC" it shows only my original C drive with only 20 gb of space left.

Yet when I go into Device manager
-Disk Drives
both of my SSD's show up including the new Sandisk SSD I installed.

Anything I am missing in order to set this up, why is it recognized in Device Manager but not coming up in available disk space?

Well it wasn't exact but I was able to follow it roughly and get a partition on the drive. Thanks!!
Damn thing only shows as 890 GB or so available. That's some pretty false advertising calling it a 960 GB SSD when in actuality on 890 are available after install

Base 2 vs Base 10
gibibyte vs gigabyte
machine vs human

ALL drives are like this.
A "500GB" drive shows as 465GB
1TB shows as 931GB
960GB shows as 890GB

all depends on what exactly is reading it.
