So is it fine you just leave an SSD plugged into your computer but you unplug the Sata cable? Its a SSD that cam from an old laptop and when its plugged in it takes over my other HDD and I dont want my New desktop to be my old laptop anymore. But I also don't want to have to take the ssd out after putting it in.

I'll also probably be using the other SSD when ever I need something from it or when I want to put something in it

in your BIOS, change the boot priority so that your HDD is first and your correct windows install is booted to.

 

Then, format the SSD to cleanse all of the data off of it, and you can clone your HDD to the SSD for some speed improvements.

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 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
