Hi, Linux noob here:

So, I’ve been using KDE Plasma for a while now and everything is working seamlessly, I cannot complain.

However, I have noticed that I am having a storage shortage, normally my laptop has 1 TB of storage, but all my files seem to be stored on a different storage device entirely with only a max. of 476GB. Image 1 depicts the current storage device in use. Image 2 depicts the one with the actual 1 TB. Also, I don’t know what’s going on with the 2nd device, but it’s completely unallocated with 2TB of disk space.

Moreover, I have to add, that my laptop supports a RAID feature called Intel Rapid Storage Technology, maybe that’s why I have so many storage devices?

Can someone help me out here please? How do I get my 1 TB of storage back?

In case I need to reset it or if any actions erase data. No worries, I got an external SSD for backups and I think I know how to use the integrated Backup Tool.

The second image shows that the ntfs filesystem isn’t mounted so, it’s unavailable to you currently. The 3rd image shows that nvme device hasn’t been formatted with a filesystem, so it too is unavailable..

Hi! I don’t have a device with that Intel Rapid Storage Technology setup myself, but from what I’ve read, it sounds pretty problematic and best left disabled if you’re intending to use Linux on the device:

Hope that at least leads in a helpful direction! :slight_smile:
