Hello,
I just received my new Samsung 980 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 and want to do some major shifting around in my pc storage setup. I'm hoping for some suggestions on the best configuration and that someone can point me to a tutorial, youtube, etc. that will walk me through the process of migrating data/files and all that.
Currently, I have a MSI X470 Gaming Pro MB. I have a 500GB Samsung 970 MVMe M.2 stick in the #1 (top) slot. I have a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO in the SATA 1 slot.
My goal is to do a fresh/clean install of windows 10 on the 970 stick and keep it to the OS and basics (docs, music, pictures) keeping it where it is. The new 980 Pro I would also like to go in the #2 MVMe slot and install all my games there. The 850 EVO obviously stays in the SATA 1 slot, but I would like to repurpose it as an isolated backup to the 970 where once a week or so I back up the 970 and then isolate it (not sure how to do this). This way if I have a failure or ransomware to the C: drive (970), I can wipe the 970 and reinstall from the 850. If this is not ideal, I'd appreciate your suggestions. My thinking is that my important game files are mostly in my documents folder, so they will be backed up weekly.
