Very similar issue to this post, asking in anticipation of installing Arch for learning and whatnot.
SSD Showing as two drives not one in GParted
Acer Aspire S7 with Kingston SMSR150 SSD, advertised as 128GB. Why do I see sda and sdb each having size of about half that? From what I understand, these are not partitions, but two physical devices. If this is truly the case, would you recommend a RAID config or something else?
fdisk -l gives:
Disk /dev/sda: 59.6GiB, etc. etc.
Units: Sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
