A wonderful video. I wish that I knew about you, Joe, years ago. Then, Linux would not have been so intimidating. You really make it understandable for us Simpletons, or Noobs -- as they call us.
Thank You Joe, After viewing many blog posts and increasing my anxiety, I went back to your video here and used "Disks" on Linux Mint to partition an external H/D. Went as easy as on a Mac, "Ezee Breezy"
How do I put the home folder on my sd card, I’m fully out of storage and I don’t know what to delete, I don’t even have anything to delete. I have the 8 GB Intel Compute Stick
I love Linux mint but have problems after a few days with boot problems I use dual boot with two drives one with W10 and the other drive with Linux mint and I can then boot into one drive or the other with no grub I want to drop W10 but find mint un-reliable so can't trust it any suggestions my laptop is a dell m4400
I'd prefer the GNOME Disks Utility over Windows' Disk Management tool for checking the health of the drive. Whenever I want to check the health of old IDE hard drives, I always use this utility. I know the bad sectors can determine the health of the hard drive, but what about Seek Error Rate, Read Error Rate, etc? Does that matter if the drive is failing?
Joe! did you do a video about setting up a storage drive, I am interested in setting up a 1Tera byte drive on Linux Mint Cinnamon 19, for timeshift files and music, archives, all that stuff I don't want to be stored on my system disk. Can you give any wisdom on a storage file structure that lends to indexing files for quick finding and retrieval? As yet I have not seen a video that deals with this matter specifically.
Good luck with that. Installing a second drive in linux and getting it to actually show up as usable space is absolutely retarded under linux. I've watched dozens of videos on this and none of them have worked. Everything from command not found to things not being where they were supposed to be to having to deal with the absolutely idiot command line text editors in linux. All I wanted to do was set up a raid storage server, but I'm afraid if I set it up under this retarded operating system and I had an issue, it would take me weeks to get it back online because of the retarded operating system.
Hey Joe, nice video! I was wondering, I have a lot of free space scattered around throughout my 640 GB HDD. Should I take the time and risk to boot a live cd, organize this, and re install grub to the MBR?
Greetings my friend, I'm new to the linux world. Still learning. Can you make a video (or if already made, please share links) on how to allocate the disk memory in linux? I'm currently using elementary loki, I wanna multiboot it with cyborg hawk.

Thank you for this video, but how to correct formate disk with Disks?
hey Joe, thank you for the video. I've learned something today on Linux and its Benchmark.. appreciate your time and keep posting videos

THANKS... Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks a lot! I'm playing with LINUX and the Ubuntu 17 O.S now, your video helped.

+Dabbler's Buffet Just look t the overall score. If it says the drive is ok, than it's ok. Disks will tell you if it's failing. :)
Joe Collins Thank you. I feel better now knowing that I don't have to worry about looking at the other S.M.A.R.T data to see if the drive is failing.

Errrr... the thing is Joe, whenever I use Disks I generally get error messages.
Great utility, JC. I'm still a KDE man, but this looks like a winner.
dixielandfarm Thanks... A little GTK mixed in with the QT never hurt nobody! :)

+Jaden Peterson You could if you wanted to but make sure you back everything up first just in case you have to re-install. :)

I am a new Linux user and have rhe same problem now. Did you manage to find a solution?
Learned a bunch!

Never had good luck with WD drives they always started clicking within a year
very usefull video
