How to Install a Second Hard drive on Linux Ubuntu

How to Install a Second Hard drive on Linux Ubuntu
Hi everyone,
In this video I'll show you how to add an extra hard drive to a Linux Ubuntu system, create partition table using GPT format, create 4 partitions using FAT32, NTFS, EXT3 and EXT4 filesystems and manage permissions to mount properly and use with them on the file manager.
Please comment below for any doubts or suggestions.
For Linux Ubuntu Desktop install please check my other videos!
Thanks and hope you enjoy it!
Regards,
Rodrigo Matias

I was looking for how to install a physical hard drive, This video is a virtual drive.

[@CosoroRadio]

It works for physical drive too. I use it to add 2 new drive on my server and it works. This was after spending hours looking and trying. Many thanks

[@linuxtechschool4841]

Hi Bobby, It should be that same. Please check the device name you get when to connect your new harddrive on the IDE or SATA controller. After you get that devicename, adapt to your case and the next steps should be the same. Regards, Rodrigo

[@linuxtechschool4841]

It is the same. Connect the new drive, check for the device name, partition it and format! Regards.

[@ananthavelblive]

Thanks a lot. It worked. Clearly explained. I did the same on physical hard drive. ..

Hi, Thanks a lot for the feedback. Regards, Rodrigo Matias.

Thank you for this, given what Microsoft is doing with Windows 11 I plan to go to Linux once they drop support for windows 10, I mainly use my pc for gaming, so hopefully with Steam and Lutris, as well as some of the other gaming stuff that has a wine compatibility layer it will get better by that point.

[@hopelessdecoy]

Steam has its built in Proton compatibility layer which works really well. No wine required if you're just doing steam games.

[@jeffrielly]

@@hopelessdecoy I have other stuff as well from GOG, Origin, Ubisoft, Battlenet, and Epic, though I don't use Epic's spyware launcher to launch my games instead I currently use legendary for Epic instead. I don't do any online gaming so I don't have to worry about the anticheat thing, although some anticheat games DO work in Linux like Call Of Duty

Olá Ricardo, Este tema dos HDD é extenso. Estou a preparar novo video sobre RAID em LINUX. Cumprimentos, Rodrigo Matias

[@commtechengineer612]

I had to modify my commands a little bit because i didn't partition my HDD. So I had to run the command one level up in the directory. My Directory was /media/username Here is the command I used sudo chown username drivename

How can I use a second drive for DROPBOX with Linux (Mint or MX)?

[@spuddyminer8347]

how do you mount the drives boss? did I miss it?

[@sidetraksidetrak879]

How did you get them to magically mount in media?

[@rahuldora1587]

Thank you so much sir

[@linuxtechschool4841]

I'm glad I could help! Regards, RSM

[@MrBlackElvis]

Why do you have to make 4 partitions?

[@linuxtechschool4841]

You don't! I made it just to show that as examples too. You can create only one with total space available. Regards!

​@@linuxtechschool4841 Qualquer dia faço a experiência de testar um Ubuntu com acesso total ao hardware. Já estive mais longe do fazer. Até encontrei uma série de jogos compatíveis, porque a vida não é só trabalho! itsfoss.com/linux-gaming-guide/ itsfoss.com/best-linux-games-steam/

[@linuxtechschool4841]

O Ubuntu em "bare metal" é muito bom!! Faz toda a diferença entre trabalhar na VM ou directamente em hardware. Ab., Rodrigo
