This is a great way to divide a larger hard drive (say 1 TB) into two smaller (500 GB) drives.

Ahh, yes. Physical partitioning

[–] hemmes@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only thing better than logical partitioning

[–] stranger@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Metaphysical partitioning

Once you make it a circle, your storage space becomes infinite!

The size of the actual drive doesn't match the size in the OS screenshot below. For shame, OP.

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Physical partitioning, as mentioned below

The fuck is this OP?

Picture shows 500gb drive - 2/10 would not save

He only got the part to the right (199GB) the left part is broken off.

Is an old picture put below a newer one, this meme has been around for a decade or more

[–] Uniquitous@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

He said it fit. He never said the OS mounted it; which it wouldn't given that it has neither a data nor a power connection.

This hurts me so much.

off-topic but you actually can cut your M.2 SSD so that it fits in a WWAN slot for example (source: guide from r/thinkpad)

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, you can cut almost anything to fit almost anywhere.

I cut an old mid range business machine's case to fit a 1060 6GB hand-me-down.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah...I was going to say if the one on the image had been broken on the other side maybe it could still work. Not in this case tough.
