# Can Tuhi tell me whether my fast drive is connected and how full it is?

Yes. Ask "is my drive connected?" or "how much space is on my fast drive?" and Tuhi tells you whether it's connected and ready, with its free and total space.

If it isn't connected, Tuhi says so and reminds you that anything already on it is safe and reappears automatically when you plug it back in; you just can't move more apps or folders to it until then. If the drive is plugged in but still not working, see [external drives](https://storagestudio.us/faq/external-drives/).
