If you need more storage, we offer you the perfect add-on, additional HDD storage, which is available to you cost-effectively.
If you order additional HDD storage, a new hard drive will be created in your server, which makes the storage from an external server available in your Windows server. It should be noted that the memory cannot be adjusted downwards without losing all data.
Normally the storage is added a few minutes after payment, but in exceptional cases this time may be increased.
As described in the "How does it work" point, a hard drive is added from an external storage server, if this storage server is offline, problems may occur and your additional storage may not be accessible during this period.
Our storage servers are located EXCLUSIVELY in Nuremberg, Germany. If there are network problems at this location, the usability of the hard drive may be limited.
After you have booked additional HDD storage, it will be assigned to you within a few minutes; after the allocation, you will have the hard drive available in your Windows. However, you must know that we do not format these especially since each customer has different requirements. Therefore, you must take the following steps to activate it:
Now you should find two disks at the bottom of diskmgmt:
Disk0: This is your SSD disk which was set when ordering.
Disk1: This is your HDD disk with the additional storage booked.
Now right-click on the area of your disk marked in black and click on “New Simple Volume”. Click through the settings (usually you can leave everything default).
Your hard drive should now be available in Windows and can be used to its full extent.
