Portable SSD is a lot smaller than supposed to.

tombovens · Jan 19, 2018

I recently bought a Intenso 128 GB Portable SSD. When i plugged it in, it showed 195 Megabytes of 195, which is way smaller than its supposed to be. I've already browsed other threads but nothing really seemed to help.

Could anyone help me with this issue?

Screencap of what is showing you this?
And if not Disk Management, a screencap of that as well.

128GiB SSD (in the way it is being marketed) is 128,000,000,000 bytes, or (in computer terms) little bit over 119GB. The fact that you see 195MB means that there's a small formatted partition, and that's all you see from your SSD.

Thanks, do you know how to fix this?

We have to see an actual screencap of what is showing you this 195mb.
The 'fix' depends on the 'why'.

I can't upload images from my computer. So i'll just use an External site.

Disk Management shows it as a 115GB drive, as expected.
This PC Properties shows the small 200MB partition.

In 'This PC', when you try to access the G drive...what do you see?

Also, that partition is formatted as FAT32. That will not work for a drive of that size.
Delete both partitions on that Disk 1. Create a New Simple Volume, and format it as NTFS.

When i accessed the G Drive, it opened like normal. No pop-ups, nothing.

I'll try to format it as NTFS later.

I tried formatting it as NTFS, but it doesn't work. The only capacity choice it gives me is 200MB.

In Disk Management, delete BOTH partitions.
Reformat the entire drive as NTFS.
