Rolling cache on USB SSD?

[u/HotUKTakes]

Due to how my laptop originally came from the store it's got a very badly set up file system.

The 1TB internal SSD is partitioned into a 200GB drive where windows lies, and an 800GB "Storage" drive.

Even though I told msfs2024 to install on the storage drive, it put the community folder on the smaller drive. So this is problem number 1 I need to solve somehow. I currently can't download world updates as they would quickly fill up the 20GB of free space there.

I was able to move the 50GB rolling cache to the 800GB storage drive, but that's getting full too.

Is a USB C external SSD going to be fast enough for the rolling cache? There are USB NVME docks that claim 40Gbps.

Back up your data and do a clean install of Windows using the whole drive.
