For those who require information on formatting new SSD, first, it needs to be installed and connected to the computer. In case of Windows, it is necessary to open Disk Management, and there you will probably be asked to initialize the newly acquired hard disk drive. Having done this, create New Simple Volume, assign it with a drive letter, select the file system, such as NTFS or exFAT, and proceed to format. When you finish with all of these operations, the new SSD will show up in File Explorer and will be ready for storing files and installation of an operating system.
