So recently I had to setup some drives but wanted to bypass the traditonal compmgmt route (or diskmgmt). Powershell proved to be much faster than the old way, it only takes a few seconds to setup an SSD (longer if you want to format).
#which drives are partition style raw? Get-Disk # so in the above example I noted disk number 4 is RAW, I wanted it to be the N drive # allocate all space, format as GPT and label it "N-DRIVE" Get-Disk | Where-object Number -eq 4 | Initialize-Disk -PartitionStyle GPT -PassThru | New-Partition -DriveLetter N -UseMaximumSize | Format-Volume -FileSystem NTFS -NewFileSystemLabel "N-DRIVE" -Confirm:$false #
