Ssd Hdd

if pc has 2 drives that looks like this

sdd is disk 0
hdd is disk 1

then is the ssd usable?

• if so how? how do we see the ssd drive on computer? (only C drive shows up, that's hdd)
• if not why not?

ssd mainly helps with faster loading of files, yes?

• how do we know what things/files would be helpful to move to ssd?
• how do we know if a program/file could be moved, or if it has to be reinstalled into ssd?
• how much faster about does ssd help with loading? does it just save seconds? is it even worth moving anything.. this is all so much trouble, and such a headache

lesson for everyone: only use computer with 1 drive, multiple drives confusing as hell

if there's anything, that's super important for us to know, pls link concise youtube / primer / overview that shows explains those things very very concisely

 

from your screen shot, the sdd has nothing on it, except for those 3 partitions, and from the descriptions for those partitions, it appears that it once was a boot drive, which might be why windows does not see it, because your computer already has a hard drive it boots from.

since there is no data on the sdd drive, use that program you have and delete all 3 of those partitions, then reformat the sdd as one large NTFS partition. then check to see if your windows sees it. if yes, you're good to go. if no, then my guess would be that there is still information in the boot sectors of the sdd telling windows that there is still an operating system on it, even though you just reformatted the drive. because i do not understand the low level mechanics of file systems, all that well, what i have done in the past is to reformat a drive as FAT32 choosing MBR for the boot sector, when that is done, i will reformat the drive, a second time, as NTFS choosing GPT for the boot sector, to reset the information in the drive's boot sectors, which should allow windows to see the sdd. GPT stands for GUID Partition Table.

anyway, good luck with it, and my apologies to anyone reading this if i miss-used certain terminology.

It shows the boot on the hdd, -I would suggest shut down, disconnecting the ssd, and restarting- If all goes well, then there is nothing necessary on the ssd- If it does not work properly, then something may be in the system file on the ssd.
If it boots ok, without ssd connected, then I would, l reconnect and format the ssd , OR, if you want the better speed of the ssd, you could clone the hdd to the ssd, then format the hdd and use it for storage- just think about it, and come back. Someone can lead you further
