Hi,<br />
Letter is assigned already (F).<br />
Isn't it possible in Server 2012 R2 to set this permanently?<br />
Thanx, DR

I have a strange issue on a HP ML10v2.<br />
<br />
I am attaching a 3 Tb External HD (USB 3.0) to the rear slot for USB 3.0 and utilizing for backups.<br />
The first time it was attached, the server recognized the device properly.<br />
However, when opening &quot;My Computer&quot; after start from shutdown or restart, the external drive does not appear.<br />
I need to go into Computer Management&gt;Storage&gt;Disk Management, and it shows up there.<br />
I then go back to &quot;My Computer&quot; and it appears as well.<br />
<br />
If I do not do this above step, the external HD is not &nbsp;&quot;visible&quot;. <br />
Just another annoying thing to remember?<br />
Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Thanks, DR

External USB 3 HD not appearing in My Computer after restart

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.

Components

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.

Peripherals

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
