Ive had my desktop for about 4 years and it goes through a upgrade every now and then but from the beginning its had 2 drives. A wd black hdd and samsung 850 evo as my boot and main programs drive. Ive recently been able to snag a wd black nvme drive on a good sale and i have been needing extra storage for a while for games and content creation. Im wondering if there is a special config that i can use to get the most efficient use out of my 3 drives. As second question im also wondering if its smart decision to move my os to the nvme as well.

Yes you should move the OS to the fastest drive you have.

Just clone it. And use the 850 as the second drive.

No, just select the new drive as default boot after cloning.
