You can reduce growth in disk size by disabling these Windows services. The incremental growth of the OS disk can undo the storage savings that you achieve when you first create the clones. Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, and Windows 10 schedule services and tasks that can cause instant clones and linked clones to grow, even when the machines are idle. Benefits of Disabling Windows Services and Tasks.Disabling certain services and tasks can also result in performance benefits for full virtual machines. Time to reformat the EVO 850 to make sure alignment is ok and it will be all good :-)īottom line: apparently the 3rd SATA connector on the motherboard has limitations that don't matter with a DVD drive but make it less compatible with SSDs and HDs.By disabling certain Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, and Windows 10 services and tasks, you can reduce the growth in disk usage of instant clones and linked clones. HD still shows as HD, but has become removable. Now SSD shows as SSD, no longer removable. Finally opened the case and swapped the SATA connectors of the SSD and HD this morning. SSD didn't show up in BIOS but was detected in Windows as a hard disk - functional but defragmenting instead of trimming.
Spent a lot of time trying the suggestions above and others to no avail. I wanted to have a 2nd SSD and keep the HD, so connected the EVO 850 SSD instead of the DVD drive, which works just as well over a USB adapter connected to a free USB 2.0 port. Machine is an hp Omen 870-267nz which turned out to have only 3 SATA connectors on the motherboard, one of which was used for the DVD drive. Same issue here with a Samsung EVO 850 recognized as a HDD and shown as removable in the systray, across numerous versions of Windows 10 Home.
