Je viens de got myself an ORICO M.2 NVMe SSD Enclosure USB-C Adapter and put an unused NVMe 1.3 into it (512GB).
When J’ai essayé de eject it dans le explorateur de fichiers, there was no eject option, though the format option was there.
Checking the tray, I did find it, but when I pressed eject, I got that it is encore in use:
Even après restarting the ordinateur this encore was the case. Not understanding why, J’ai vérifié What’s using this fichier?, which n’a pas show a thing as using it. So I went on to vérifiez le task manager, which oddly enough showed that there was some activity going on, even though c’est an empty drive (just formatted it).
Après the redémarrer, J’ai aussi noticed that the drive maintenant has a “$RECYCLE.BIN” dossier. Does this mean that Windows thinks c’est an internal drive? If so, quelqu’un sait-il how Je peux use this as an independent drive to move entre ordinateurs?
As a side note, Je peux read and write data, even getting GB/s rates.
Il y a likely rien wrong avec that SSD, nor is there any problème avec the way Windows has mounted it.
Windows OS normally mounts small USB drives, e.g., flash “thumb” drive, sans write caching to allow for quick ejection.
Large HDD and SSD drives, whether internal or external, are normally mounted avec write caching, which speeds up writing to disk by buffering writes in RAM until they are completed. The disadvantage is that one must wait for all writing to complete avant removing the drive, and for that reason, an eject button may not be displayed.
Si vous want to dismount the drive frequently, and vous n’avez pas mind slowing write access, vous pouvez changez le drive mount to supprimer caching.
In Explorer, clic droit sur le drive and sélectionner Properties.
On the Hardware tab, sélectionner Properties (again).
Cliquez sur le Change paramètres bouton.
On the Policies tab, supprimez le check from *Activer write caching sur le périphérique". The SSD should maintenant be able to be ejected as would a flash drive.
En revanche, one can use a third-party tool to safely eject even a drive mounted avec write caching. Free HotSwap! and many alternatives can be used, and I find them more reliable.
As for the $RECYCLE.BIN fichier, oui, c’est normal, depuis it allows for temporary “deletion” of fichiers by moving them vers le Recycle Bin. That is usually an advantage of having a large external HDD, but si vous don’t want to use it, vous pouvez set the policy for that drive to “Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin”.
Faites un clic droit the Recycle Bin.
Sélectionnez the drive letter for the external SSD.
Sélectionnez “Don’t move fichiers vers le Recycle Bin…”
