If so the SSD is used for caching to speed loading of files and data and not storage as such.</SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">I don’t have any firsthand knowledge but suspect that the 32GB SSD will not show in Explorer as it will not have a drive letter assigned. It may possibly be shown in ‘Disk Management’ (Control Panel &gt; Administrative Tools &gt; Computer Management &gt; Disk Management) but not necessarily. </SPAN></P><P></P><P><SPAN style="font-size: 12pt;">Rich</SPAN></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Dec 2012 10:32:01 GMT https://community.sony.dk/t5/pcs-accessories/where-s-my-ssd/m-p/617133#M16042 rich912 2012-12-24T10:32:01Z
