Hi,
My motherboard MSI B550 Tomahawk has two NVMe slot a PCIe-4 4X & a PCIe-3 4X slot. I currently have a Kingston KC3000 1TB SSD in the PCIe-4 slot. It's a bit small in size and I only really have the OS and a couple of apps on there. I use a 2TB HDD on SATA 3 (6Gb/s). Games seem to need a fast SSD. I'm thinking of getting a 4TB SDD and using that in the PCI-e 4 slot and moving the 1TB into the PCI-e 3 slot. I'll use the 4TB drives as my main OS, profiles, app drive and the 1TB as a secondary drive and virtual memory.
I'm looking at these drives: -
The Kingston has TBW of 4.0 PBW
WD has a TBW of 2.4 PBW
What do you think of my idea and the drives? How could I clone my current OS drive? Last time I had to create my system from scratch...
Thanks
Haider
