Hello,

I've just taken delivery of a laptop. No problem - but I'm about to install Linux on it and when looking to partition the drives, I was a bit suprised to see a 16Gig Scsi drive in addition to the 512GB SSD.

Can anyone explain why this is there?

Thanks!

No idea! That's very odd. The only thing I can think is that a USB or something is in it by mistake somewhere?

That chassis only takes M2 SSD's so I don't even know what would register as SCSI in partition software.

What are you using to partition? GParted?

haha! This is me being an idiot :)

I transfered the installer ISO to a USB stick and I'm booting from that. It must be that! :)

Ps - thanks for the reply! You helped kick my brain into gear
