(IMO it's less of a thing these days, but in the case of installing windows when there's also a windows on another drive is still a good idea.) yeah, I still stand by physically disconnecting eeeeverything you dont want touched when installing windows on a drive, especially if you have another boot manager or dual boot situations. Win 8 loved to creep on to other physical drives boot sectors even after install, insanely annoying.

i had a 6tb spinner doing local back-ups on my gaming computer but I never had to use the backups after like 5 years so I pulled it out last week... and then last night, I got a Storage Spaces error on my 2x2TB MX500 array and it lost like 100GB of data lol. non-critical data but still sucks to lose it. reminder to never skimp on backups, even for SSDs with low failure rates.

makere posted:What's relatively cheap pcie4 SSD that runs nicely without a heatsink (with decent airflow)? Prices have come up a bit, but even really good drives are pretty affordable. Normal PCIe 4 recommendations for "high end" are things like the Samsung 990/980 Pro (with firmware update), WD SN850X, or Solidigm (Intel/SKhynix) P44 Pro. Looking on pcpartpicker, a 1TB example of those options will run you about $85, while the cheapest of all cheap 1TB drives is around $55. I personally would just spend the extra to have a solid drive you can never have to think about again and to potentialy not have to deal with support from uh... "Timetec", but you do you! All three of those high end drives will run just fine without a heatsink for normal home use cases provided you have some airflow. If its going in a PS5 and its clam shelled up, might be a little different story.
