Consolidation of hard drives... advice needed please

darrenkarp · 12 Dec 2025 at 18:37

Hi All,

I have the following storage in my rig:-

D: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
E: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD
F: Samsung 870 EVO 1000GB SSD
C: WD_BLACK SN850X 1000GB M.2

The WD is the boot (C) drive.

I'm running low on storage space on all but the C drive and ideally I'd like to get rid of the 500GB and 250GB SSD's and replace with say a 2TB but am looking for advice on what to do please.

Thanks
Daz

Grab yourself a 2tb m2 nvme drive you have plenty of slots in your motherboard and also Looks like you don't need to get rid of any of you smaller drives as the motherboard has plenty of options.

If you do just loose the 250gb and sell it, storage ain't cheap anymore.
