Why does my SSD detect me as an HDD?

Support

Hello, I just installed Manjaro on my laptop, the truth is that it is my first time installing a Linux distribution for everyday use. My problem is that at startup my SSD does not detect me as an HDD and I want to know if this affects my computer or how I can solve it. I recently updated the Bios but it wasn’t fixed with that.

Thanks!

There is no substance in your post.
No information that anyone could go on.

None of us can see what you can see.

Sorry, I tried to upload an image only to get the following error:

An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t insert media into a post.

possibly because you are not a HDD

That is not an error … we don’t adore screenshots

So I don’t know why it won’t let me upload images or links. I hope you can see it, you just need to remove the spaces

If the installer cannot recognize your system disk - it may be firmware (bios) settings.

Please check your firmware.

Disable software RAID and set disk device mode to AHCI.

New users can’t do that - and pictures are not useful anyway in most cases.

post your link formatted as text:

for instance

There are formatting options beyond just copy/paste here …

btw:
it is detected as an nvme drive by the looks of it in your photos

This is the long version:

Welcome to Manjaro! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

  1. Please read the information behind this link. It will help you to post necessary information.
  1. Please press the three dots … below your post and then press the :pencil2:
  • If you give us information about your system, we can see what we’re talking about and make better suggestions.
  • You can do this by using inxi in a terminal or in console.
sudo inxi --verbosity=8 --filter --width
  • Personally identifiable information such as serial numbers and MAC addresses are filtered out by this command
  • Presenting the information in this way allows everyone to be familiar with the format and quickly find the items they need without missing anything.
  1. Copy the output from inxi (including the command) and paste it into your post.
  • To make it more readable, add 3 backticks ``` on an extra line before and after the pasted text.

Have you already :mag: for your problem in the forum ? (Wisdom lies in asking → listening → reading :wink: )

I appreciated that clarification; even if nobody else did.

Hello Sam,
You did some spelling mistakes:

Why does my SSD detect me as an HDD?

I would say you are a human and not a Hard Drive Disk. :smile:

Only Terminal output with a inxi command will let us judge about your installation, we don’t have a super power like Dr. Strange or Gandalf and can’t teleport around your PC. :mage:

I took that as a well meant sarcastic comment. :grinning:

Then you might wish to re-evaluate the meaning of sarcasm.:slight_smile:
It was more an acknowledgement of an observation.

Now we have an explanation-according-to-@Kobald to clear things up;
so everything is finally as it should be in Middle Earth.

… or that
