Funnily enough I got one 125GB SSD drives that I did a Full format on + a 240ssd then put them into External Enclosures. Saved me buying a Pen drive. The other 250GB is a Clone of this PC just in case it decides to die. I got loads of different cables as well except a darn Display port. So had to buy one yesterday. I got two DVI-D to Display-Port and quite a few DVD-I cables and HDMI ones I just hope I not need to buy any more of them. Is never ending. Good job I enjoy my Hobbies.
I have a nvme 1TB WD for my OS

I did the same as you. I put in a Crucial 500GB SSD in this Gigabyte PC then cloned it. I lost one USB pen drive and broke another, that's my main reason for inserting the older SSD into an External enclosure. Got the NVME 1TB in the new PC but keep wondering if I should have used a 500gb instead. I guess this 1TB will soon get half full with Microsofts Updates lol. I was going through a cupboard of stuff I got earlier on, and discovered a HP External DVD-R/CD-R burner I bought many years ago. I had only used it about three times at 4x burn. (that is the fastest it will go) Thought it was Brill until a few weeks later they brought out the Internal ones. I felt gutted at the time. I might plug it into the new PC to see if it will still work.
I'm going to make a folder for my Office and PDF files on it to start with. My images will go on a part of the 3TB drive I installed from the old Medion until I buy a new one. I'll also be putting those image files on this PC as well. My reason for that is I have now set up my New 'Asus ProArt PA248QV Monitor' today. The Brightness was so bright at 50 that I had spots in my eyes. so I turned it down to a low number. Alas I did not write it down and since then as much as I try I can NOT get the Brightness, Contrast to open. Not got a clue what I did to do it at first. Tried for 3 hours to access it all n see what the Kelvin was. I FAILED! Duh!!
No Book with it. I can't understand why they now leave the books out. Anyway, I did an A4 print with it on my Canon Pixma Pro 100. In fact two at first, one with Perceptual the other with Relative Colormetric. Both came out pretty good with the Pre-Calibration from the factory that was set in it. I then did a calibration with my Spyder 4 Elite without changing anything. Could not change anything anyway as for some reason I could not access the incredible difficult settings. I then printed the same image. All were Identical n Good. Calibration is at 96CD/m. 120 is to bright for me. Delta E-White point is 0.0 (lowest I ever got with any calibration) 50% Gray is 0.3. I can't complain about that. I got about 12 A3 photos to print later on Sunday. Lets Hope they all print well. I paid £12:99p for a 2m Display Port. I opened up the box and took out the Monitor and found 1 x Display port cable, 2 x HDMI cables a Euro plug and a Brit plug. Very Good of them to put them in. I used my old Electric plug and put that new one away with 12 others I got. As for selling the old gear, No one wants it, the CEX shop in town don't want them either. I got two very nice Tower cases where I might strip out all the parts and sell the towers. My Nephew will do that on Ebay for me. Decisions, Decisions. Too many of them.
