Initialize new disk

[Isildur]

So, i just received my new PC and i was surprised that two of my storage devices doesn't show in "this PC".

I have 3 storage devices, a Gigabyte Aorus NVMe 500Gb, a Crucial NVMe P5 Plus and a Toshiba HDD P300 3Tb.

The gigabyte is the boot drive and that is working fine, but the other two "don't exist".

 

So, i went to the Bios and there they are.

So, i went to disk management and i found that they are both unallocated, as such i need to create a new simple volume (?)

Following the wizard to do just that it starts by asking the volume size (all), then it asks me to assign a drive letter or path (drive letter?) and then it asks me if i want to format and the file system (NTFS or exFAT).

Should i format it, perform a quick format, or not format at all?

And what is enable file and folder compression?

Quick format, pick a drive letter. The defaults are fine other than you can pick a name. Just follow the wizard.
