Also, in doing so, your data is on a separate drive and would be unaffected by a virus or other cyber attack. Personally, my OS drive has the OS and programs only, with separate drives for data (and a USB3 2 TB drive as data backup).
Correct. Just have the 1TB. I have a bunch of externals for backups, but only one dedicated. I'll have to find a time next weekend to set this all up. I'm assuming this is easy to do?

I'm trying to find out what is the max RAM I can have in this system. I'm thinking that's all I'm going to upgrade with the SSD.
