Boot drive normal.

Secondary 4TB drive with an Optane chip to speed it up.

Optane M.2 insert Optane cache died? Redo metadata, new un allocated 4TB drive.

Making a byte-for-byte copy of drive to external media.

I was a back up-less fool all these years.

I'm glad you came to your senses.

People who don't do full backups back up at least weekly are effectively as dumb, in that regard, as the worst stoners.

They won't listen to good suggestions about it, and when their hard drive crashes and they lose every document and digital photo and rare downloaded memes, videos and audiofiles they ever had etc., forever, they're all :qq:

I'm glad you came to your senses.

I hope you have one set of (encrypted) backups installed at a friend's or relative's in case of fire, burglary etc.
