How to Add a SATA SSD - Full Tutorial

[@EmeraldPynk]

Ordered an SSD, it didn't work, checked the connections twice and then thrice. Nothing was working. After an hour, I decided to watch this video as it was taunting me on the Google search page. Of all things, for it to have been because the other side of the cable wasn't plugged in... 😂 It works now, and you helped with confusion of initializing and allocating, you get a thumbs up and a sincere heart felt thank you 😊

[@moalisiddiqui]

Super simple to follow on. I just completed building my very 1st PC in over a decade since my last one. Figuring out how to add an additional SSD through your video really saved the amount of time trying to understand. Cheers!

[@bradrieman7120]

I've had an SSD for almost a year now, never could get it installed. Thanks for the simple and easy to follow video. Huge help.

[@keleee]

bro never bothered to get help until a year later

[@doms5755]

Now you gotta reinstall windows lol

[@josepio4168]

Bro waited a whole year instead of just doing a quick google search💀

[@SafetyHeaven]

Bro didn’t want to watch other videos

[@zulazhar1259]

Bro is a hardcore procrastinator

[@panzerjagertigerporsche]

Just got an SSD today and this tutorial really helped with the installation and setup for it, thanks for the help and keep making videos like that that can help people that are doing this for the first time.

[@Zonextreme]

I was all confident till I realized I needed that SATA cable

[@PCBrosTech]

Once you got one it’s easy :D

[@stumpmonkey7068]

Dude, I just bought this same PC, case and all, and I had no idea how to hook up my GPU. This video not only helped me figure out how to install 2.5ssd, but also how to get my GPU going! Thank you!

[@PCBrosTech]

Glad to hear it!

[@JMCerda-cl9um]

You just saved my day! I was about to return my SSD... Had no idea I had to allocate and isntall and all those things! You, Sir, deserve more likes! Thanks a lot for this video!

[@High_Key]

This was so clutch man…I was in a never ending cycle of clearing up 200gb of space by uploading to my cloud drive to work on 2 videos at a time. Finally just installed an additional 2TB SSD thanks to this video

[@stephensnyder9319]

Had no idea I was supposed to format and stuff was wondering why it didn't show up thought i did something wrong got yourself a sub simple and to the point

[@hyperventalated]

I set up this SSD SPECIFICALLY to install steam games onto, so that extra part in the end just set me up for everything I needed! Thank you so much!

[@BrunoNeureiter]

Everything out of focus 😩😩😩😩🤬

[@nldm561]

Is that an angry orgasm

[@Kchaann]

lol

[@misterwhyte]

It's honestly impressive that they managed to get everything out of focus. Not a single shot is clear. And they didn't even bother redoing it...

[@ainazdaniel9832]

its easy bro,

[@MyFortressConstruction]

It was probably a bummer to see your footage out of focus, but you did a good job overlaying the images of the items. Thanks for the help.

[@ismimyokulann]

Thanks man I struggled with my Sata for hours thinking it was the power cable or something but with your help I managed to finaly install it. Thanks again for doing a full guide!

[@emankamal643]

i just bought a pc from skytech and now you guys helping me again install the ssd i just bought . amazing pc and amazing help from this video i will recommend you guys to anyone asks

[@ArjayLacap-kn2ph]

FINALLY FOUND A KZbinR THAT MAKES THIS KIND OF THINGS SO SIMPLE AND EASY!! THANKYOU

[@Andy-ku9xl]

So I just got a new SATA SSD and this video was just the thing I needed Thank you very much

[@patrickedwards8160]

A simple and well made video was very helpful. Thanks for showing every part of the process definitely saved me some frustration in trying to initialize

[@davidferreira9792]

Dude, you made the easiest video ever to follow! Thankyou!! Five stars all the way!

[@davidramey7186]

This helped me understand something I hadn’t yet. Thanks

[@huangziyun]

This was the best tech walkthrough video I've ever seen! It was very easy to follow, thank you so much :)

[@RealCujo]

This was definitely needed. I have a new pc coming from you guys and wanted to add memory. This is will be my reference.

[@PCBrosTech]

Love to hear it. Hope you enjoy :D

[@outplayed_mc3896]

simple n straight to the point

[@rodrigocirillo12]

Thanks for the help! Couldn't have done it without the tutorial!

[@inferironix248]

Amazing found out that in the process of building my pc 2 years ago me and my dad never activated the 2T hard drive either. So now I have 4T of free space to use up.

[@EnzordG]

This is probably the best guide i've ever seen. Wish you the best

[@yagami3933]

very helpful, thank you. I know I can build a computer on my own but the thought of installing anything or building new still makes me nervous hahaha

[@clairestanbridge9773]

Thank you! So helpful for a Mum who knows nothing about pcs!

[@bonn1771]

this was great thank you! doing an ssd upgrade on my old desktop along with more ram

[@1Phase1]

Had no idea it was this simple. I was getting ready to contact the company I bought my prebuilt from for help. I thought those four holes in the case were for some kind of SSD holder that they forgot to send along with the PC lol thanks a lot for this guide.

[@ikenna951]

Thank you so much for this beautiful tutorial! Just stepped out to get my SSD and installed it stress free :)

[@-NGC-6302-]

My HDD broke and this is absolutely helpful (luckily I don't think I even put anything on the HDD)

[@-NGC-6302-]

It all worked perfectly, super helpful video! A few menus looked very slightly different but everything went smoothly.

[@Beastmann3d]

Thanks forgot about drive allocation. It's always the little things that get you.

[@sofarsogood9578]

Great video and guide. Too bad that 60% was out of focus but still managed to understand. Thanks.

[@walkerhuffman9218]

this is the only video of the 6 ive watched that helped me thank you

[@Midkup]

This was a goated instruction video. You told us everything including how to install onto steam.

[@Guineapig300n60]

Excellent video, very comprehensive and covers all the details you might need. Very well made, got my new drive installed and working after forgetting how I did it years ago.

[@gabrielcristiancinematic]

Thank you so much dude, im looking to buy a second drive and saw someone online mention the disk management software which made me lose confidence and be affraid it wasnt going to work, now i have my confidence back!

[@PCBrosTech]

Glad I could help

[@gabrielcristiancinematic]

@@PCBrosTech Here's an update, i bought the ssd and everything went smoothly, thanks for addint the disk management part!

[@anything_of_anythingmrb7985]

Nice video Simple, fast and easy to follow!

[@PCBrosTech]

Glad it helped!

[@juliosilva7493]

Really helpful, I was wondering wtf was a SATA cable and what it was for! And yes, I just built my first PC so boo hoo if I didn't know wth SATA was xD

[@carlc.472]

Thank you, stuff like this is what stumps us newbee's and people like you and your team that bail us out! Thanks again!

[@bhogar1076]

Thank you for the video, very easy to understand and helpful!

[@booswalia]

Thank you. You saved what could have been a very bad day for me.

[@dread12059]

I need a friend like you to geek out on technology.

[@MC1234MC]

Thank you! This video was really helpful

[@slcitizen8637]

You made it simple. Thank you.

[@memoma155]

[@briangarcia5356]

Was very helpful, thank you very much. 😊

[@RagnaTheBloodecchi]

Exactly what I needed, thank you so much.

[@WingsofDestiny123]

This was super helpful. Thank you!

[@PCBrosTech]

So glad!

[@kaylercj]

Great tutorial helped a lot.

[@livingvaguely159]

this was soo helpfull when i first installed it the ram was acting up and then the graphics card was acting up i dont know why but ya but this was helpfull and my pc is acting good now

[@samsullivan5782]

i’ll leave a like for the activate drive part. but fix that camera 🎥

[@PCBrosTech]

That was my first time using that camera. The settings were all changed because we shared that one in the office at the time. I am not very good at camera settings on a camera that I am not used to. Blur is annoying for sure, but hopefully you still found it helpful.

[@MattyGamerMC]

Thanks pal, very helpful. This video was exactly what I was needing.

[@RobloxianX]

bro i remember with my first pc build I just had the SATA SSD just hang there with the cable attached to the first port on the mobo I saw

[@ChaosForLunch]

thank you sir ... excellent work ... stay well

[@user-gv9ne1hl4i]

Isnt tht the toasty bros studio?

[@PCBrosTech]

Who?

[@cynicscholar]

SIR YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! THANK YOUUUUU!

[@user-ff8xo6qr2o]

this helped very much, lots of thank 👍🔥

[@maharshikashyap81]

Thanks... It was very helpful

[@MoishaAPD]

So helpful, thank you!!

[@AngelEstarossa]

For people seen this use the straight sata cause the corner one has to go from the inside position and we don't want to break anything trying 😅, other than that great help bro

[@AngelEstarossa]

Do you have any video about fans? I can't find how to connect the second one

[@PCBrosTech]

Nope, but that’s a good idea. Sometimes fans can be confusing. Especially ARGB

[@AngelEstarossa]

@@PCBrosTech mine are rgb and i cant figure which cable is which

[@Yinzzy656]

Thanks Zach It was definitely helful. You're awesome bro! Something that would be even more helpful would be if you could please do a similar video on this channel showing us steps in how exactly you setup your custom MSIAfterburner for the main channel videos. Also, it looks like on the desktop in this video, you have Afterburner and then a separate instance of it. I'm assuming you simply click that seperate instance marked 'setup' and it automatically sets it to how you want it so you don't have to do it manually set it up every single video. I really would appreciate seeing how you do that as well. thanks! peace.

[@PCBrosTech]

And msi afterburner video is a good idea. 🤔

[@Yinzzy656]

​@@PCBrosTechplease do it. please show exactly how you set up afterburner for the main channel videos and how you have a second Afterburner icon on the desktop labeled 'setup', like I said, assuming that's a one click afterburner icon so you dont have to manually set it up every single video. please show how you do that as well. thanks so much for considering doing this.

[@PCBrosTech]

We are actually working on the MSI video now. So keep a lookout @@Yinzzy656

[@melodypulpog7389]

It worked!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@angelguzman8242]

I have a question I can’t see my space available in settings after all this steps and tips ?

[@themightybeast4716]

KEEP IT UP zach! Thanks for the full details! Really loved it ❤

[@adir1x794]

Thank you, God bless you 🙏🏾

[@idrnabil4364]

thanks, so we need to jus put tthe sata cable and power supply cable and also if its unread (because nvme or something), put them to other slot

[@patrickazzarella6729]

Hey, the cble that goes to the power supply, I don't have one of those. Where can I find one for my Samsung SSD. I have the Sata Cable for my mother board but no cable from my power supply

[@jimmyfitsimmons5100]

Thank you so much

[@PCBrosTech]

No problem :D

[@johnydivocak1373]

Thanks bro, u saved my life

[@ZorixTheGoober]

What happened to the toasty bros? 💀 (this is a joke btw)

[@tristankaiser7938]

Very helpful. Thank you. Only question, if I keep some saved games on the stock drive, do I need to transfer that data to the new drive or will the computer understand where the data is if I just fire something up

[@divyam432]

Thank bro

[@PCBrosTech]

No problem

[@verzidegod7449]

Very useful thanks

[@darcovrockben7310]

What if i wanna add one that already has stuff like pictures and games on it and i wanna keep them? Do i unclick format or how do i go about that?

[@eepking5275]

I don’t think I have that on my cyber power PC pro does it come with every PC or just most?

[@bigL808allDAY]

What if you bought your pc used and don’t have the screws that came with the motherboard? What screws do we need to buy?

[@Watashi_wa_inudesu]

Thank you so much brother 🙏

[@dchubad]

I just installed one of those, it was a 1tb SSD via SATA (same as in the video). Once it fills to about 90gb it starts running like a bag of sh1t, takes almost an hour to transfer 1gb of data to it.

[@ViViX9999]

Broo . Aware of ur camera. Its soo out of focus

[@gabrielbussiere8706]

Great video made installing my new ssd super easy 10/10

[@PCBrosTech]

Thank you :D Glad it helped

[@TheMrmacheesmo]

[@loiclaynell]

Can someone help me plz, I have a set of 5Fans connecetd to 1 Hub, then 2Fans connected to another Hub, + im about to buy 2 SSDs, I see that Fans and SSDs use the same power cable, can i use only 1 power Cable for 2 SSDs and 7Fans ? 😢

[@ethansimard7452]

Mine isn't registering the presence of the ssd. Should I restart my computer?

[@Arthur_MorganTB]

does it come with the screws ?

[@wrgblackheart]

I screwed in my screws a little tight in the SSD and they didn't break

[@PCBrosTech]

That's good. Better to be safe than sorry.

[@jexru5669]

When I go to allocate the disk it’s a black bar and doesn’t let me Initialize it I simply don’t have the option, please help!

[@JoerenBidaure]

thanks bro you help
