I`am NEW and I`am running ZORIN Ultimate OS 9.
Been doing this for a month ore so now and I`am starting to feel comfortable.
Just bought my self 2 HDSS drives and connected them both to my computer.
My Zorin OS refuses to read them.
How can I make my OS read them ????

If the HDSS are new, I suppose you must first format and partition them (as you would have to do in windows), so as Zorin or any other systhem to be able to view/read them.
You can use gparted to do that, but be very careful as to which drive you format or partition.
Would you like to post here the result of
sudo fdisk -l
so as to see if the drives are actually "seen" by your PC?

Do you mean SSD's? (Solid State Drives) - if so GNU/Linux has a 2TB limit but there is supposed to be a work around - I am still a SATA guy!

First of all.
SORRY guy`s for stupid and lame questions.
F... I new this.
It`s an illness of mine. My adhd quote questions before I actually think around them.
But any way THANK`S to both of you for replays.
And YES I will post the results when I`am through.
I`am also going for the slow formation so it will take until tomorrow.
I`am using "DISKS" to formate and mount them.

SSD are better because of the speed
but unfortunately this drivers are very expensive
