Something as simple as a cloud backup is so insanely easily accessible and straightforward there’s basically no excuse to not have a backup, not to mention Windows practically begs users to make a recovery disc/drive. It’s like getting into a car and cutting out the safety belts before driving, then being surprised at what happens in even a minor accident.

...what? How does that have anything to do with buying a boot drive to speed up start time? Backing up files and data is just common sense, not a replacement for actual onboard memory and storage.

After careful deliberation and going back and forth between parts stores and advice found here, I have finally come to a determination about my new set-up. Cheers to all who replied, and thanks a ton for the help!

Smaller drives are generally slower, Small boot drive will have slower boot times compared to if you had one bigger drive. Also boot times are esentially same with slowest Gen 3 NVMe and fastest Gen 4 NVMe.
