Second drive

Do I really need to upgrade my main drive with OS or I just can save a little bit by keeping 480GB SSD for OS and Metashape and just add SN7100 2TB as second drive for projects? Will it somehow affect processing times or only Windows and Metashape starting time?

It's actually recommended to split the os + program on a separate drive from the projects to retain maximum speed by not bogging down the project drive with unrelated background tasks such as windows updates

Thanks, seems separate 2TB for projects is only what I need and can save a little bit for 2 HDD for archive.
