It is super comfortable to set the data drive to SSD. Try to use 4TB SSD to make PC HDD-free.

I want to make the mute specification work quieter with PC and replace the data with HDD with SSD.

 The PC used this time is the following homemade PC. This is a part used in comments in the past, mainly for work, the chassis is Mini-ITX chassis Fractal Design Define Nano S (white) for mute PC, and it carries three cheap models of Noctua fans, "Redux". Try to keep quiet and cool.

 CPU is Core i9-9900K, memory is DDR4-2666 32GB x 2, SSD is 1 1TB (M.2/NVVe), 1 HDD is 3TB (SATA), motherboard is GIGABYTE Z390I AORUS PRO WIFI. By the way, memory and SSD are produced by Crucial.

 The most interesting thing about using this PC is the sound of the HDD. Everyone else is quiet, so the buzzing whirling sound is obvious. In addition, the HDD rotation wait time when PC starts will also make people feel unresponsive.

 The habit is terrible. Compared with the noise of the high-standard game PC, the rotation tone of HDD is negligible, and the time to wait for rotation is only a few seconds. How neurotic! It may be at this level, but. After testing in the past, I knew that replacing the data with HDD with SSD could be eliminated, so the status quo has been waiting for the opportunity to change.

2TB SSD is not enough, it needs the environment of the author's home of 4TB SSD.

 First, when using SSD on a data drive, start with a survey of how much TB there is. In the author's environment, the original is 3TB HDD, if it is above 4TB, then it can be replaced, according to the use of different capacity, as long as there is 2TB is enough.

 The following is the total capacity of the data used by the author on the working PC, totaling 1pc87 TB.

 HDD and SSD are sold with a capacity of 1000B=1KB, 1000KB=1 GB, and 1000 GB=1TB, and become beautiful for every 1000 units. When the actual format is used, the units separated by the senses of 1024B=1KB, 1024KB=1 GB and 1024 GB=1TB are different from the tags. Even if you buy the SSD of 1TB, the actual use area will be reduced by about 10%.

 The following is what happens when Crucial MX500 2TB is formatted in NTFS format, but the actual availability zone is 1.81TB. The amount of data in the author's environment is 1.87TB, so it is barely out of control, and it is impossible to replace data with drives with 2TB SSD in this environment.

 2 TB SSD cannot hold data, so we chose 4 TB SSD, but when formatting 4 TB SSD, the available capacity is 3.63 TB. The data of the author's environment is 1.87TB, and this will leave nearly half of the free capacity, so it can be used for a long time.
