SSD Pool "OK, Starting" issue

Get-PhysicalDisk Format-Table FriendlyName,MediaType,Size,CanPool,CannotPoolReason FriendlyName MediaType Size CanPool CannotPoolReason
HP SSD S600 120GB SSD 120034123776 False In a Pool

TEAM T253X2001T SSD 1024209543168 False Starting

The drive in question used to be connected to a Storage Space pool with the other two 120gb ssds. A month back or so it was fine, I'd wake my computer from sleep and it would work as intended but slowly over time I'd get this error message from windows claiming my storage space was having issues and to restart my computer. Having done so repeatedly it would fix the problem for maybe an hour at best then say the storage space had issues again.



Skip to now, it shows up in disk management, and I can't clean it through diskpart. I've tried to delete it's partitions and it claims it's successful even though it doesn't remove the partition! It actually takes the drive offline entirely. I've tried a variety of different options and am at a loss. As it says the drive is otherwise healthy. Is there a way to get this drive back into a functioning state or is it just done for?

Hi,

Do you mean you would like to use the "ST2000DM001-1ER164 HDD 2000398934016" disk to create a storage pool, however, there's a partition on it and it shows "Insufficient Capacity".

Does the disk show as Games (G:) or the Unallocated partition? Please highlight it in the disk manager.

Besides, please also show the screenshot like below:

Besides, please try to use the powershell command "Clear-disk" to remove the partition, check if there's any error, if yes, please provide the error message:

Thanks for your time!
Best Regards,

I'm sorry I should've been more specific, the drive in question that is having the issue is the TEAM T253X2001T.

I can't believe it but upon trying Clear-Disk that seemed to have worked this time for some reason! Thank you, I truly appreciate it!
