# Built-in storage device

- Checking the Volume of the Recovery Area
- Your built-in storage device contains the recovery area where the data for the system recovery is stored.
- Creating Other Drives (Modifying Partitions)
- Partitions are divided areas on your built-in storage device. Dividing the built-in storage device into more than one partition may have various advantages, such as separating the system files from your data files.
- Creating Partitions
- This topic describes how to create partitions.
- Deleting the Dedicated Partition for Rapid Wake during Recovery (Before Using the Drive Encryption Feature)
- With the default Sleep mode settings, the computer’s state is saved to the dedicated partition when your VAIO computer enters Sleep mode.
- Removing Recovery Content to Free up Disk Space
- Your built-in storage device contains the recovery area where the data for system recovery is stored. If your VAIO computer includes a solid state drive (SSD), you might want to minimize the recovery area by removing such data to free up disk space on the C: drive (or the last drive in your drive list, for example D: drive).
