Right disk Initialization defaulted to GPT for this 4TB drive, now i am in computer management, storage, disk management, now what do i choose ? can you confirm the following is correct, i think its new simple volume, then format this volume with the following settings, file system NTFS, allocation unit size Default, volume label New volume, then box is ticked Perform a quick format, i done all that and looks ok, so is that correct ? and now do i use Samsung Magician software to make a Over-provisioning partition ? and set trim etc? thx
 
Thx guys, it all went well, and yes i checked with samsung magician software to make sure drive was genuine and not been used before, all good, just deciding what size to make the Over-provisioning partition, but 20% is like 800GB, not sure if to make one now, always thought you had to have one.
 
Oh, and because i now have 2 ssd's in my system, does windows enable trim on both ssd's automatically ? or only the ssd that the os is on, so i have to enable trim on the slave ssd myself ? i did check and its enabled on C ok, fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0 , oh and magician software recommended 10% op, still like 372GB:( no way im doing 20% op
