Yes. I have had the experience that leaving more than one storage device plugged in when installing a Windows OS can lead to some of the system files on one or more of the other drives for some reason. I particularly had this while installing Win10. Idk if it's a common issue, but I have made it standard policy now to only ever have the OS drive plugged in when installing any OS to avoid the possibility of issue entirely.

no because then you have to go into the drives area and find and label all the hdds. Just wipe the hdds if there's nothing on them.

yes there is a little 100mb part of windows 10 on my 1tb hdd, but I think thats just from drivers I've put on it...

Yes if the drives are easily accessible, because then you and the Windows installer will have no choice but to install to the correct drive.

The thing is, this could lead to problems if you were to remove that drive or it fails later on.
