How to check ssd size in windows 10?

As a tech support guy, I usually recommend using System Information for the most accurate details. Here's how:

Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32 and hit Enter. In the System Information window, expand Components > Storage > Disks. This shows you not just the size, but also the model, partition info, and whether it's SSD or HDD.

Why this is better: It gives you the raw capacity without file system overhead, and you can easily copy-paste the info if you need tech support.

Plus, you can see if Windows actually recognizes your SSD properly - sometimes drives show up but aren't running at optimal speeds. If you're having performance issues, this is the first place I'd check!

Hey! If you're comfortable with command line, here's the power user method:

Open Command Prompt as administrator and type: wmic diskdrive get size,model

This gives you the exact physical size in bytes (divide by 1 billion for GB approximation).

Or for a more user-friendly version, try: fsutil fsinfo volumeinfo C: (replace C: with your drive letter)

Why I prefer this method: It shows the actual physical capacity without any partitions or formatting overhead. Manufacturers calculate 1GB as 1 billion bytes, but Windows calculates it as 1,073,741,824 bytes, which is why your 1TB SSD shows up as about 930GB.

If you want detailed partition info, diskpart then list volume is also super helpful!

Super easy! There are a couple of quick ways to check your SSD size in Windows 10:

Method 1 - File Explorer (Easiest) 1. Open File Explorer (press Windows key + E) 2. Click on "This PC" on the left sidebar 3. Look under "Devices and drives" - your SSD will be listed there with the total size and free space

Method 2 - Settings App 1. Go to Settings > System > Storage 2. Click on "View storage on other drives" 3. You'll see all your drives with their total capacity and used space

Method 3 - Disk Management 1. Right-click the Start button and select "Disk Management" 2. You'll see a graphical view of all your drives with their sizes

The File Explorer method is probably the quickest for most people. Remember that the actual usable space will be slightly less than advertised due to how storage is calculated!
