I keep all my files on my boot drive, for a gaming PC it's plenty fast.

 

Are you considering editing large video or photo files, and you need ultra high speed access to your data?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

It's for Blender files. Not sure if it impacts rendering.

I keep important files separated on another drive.

Reason is boot drive can screw up anytime, broken OS, bad windows update that force me to reset / reinstall.

If you don't have anything on the boot drive, you can just wipe it off, saving time on backups.
