That's not true, you can use a 4k monitor and a 1080p monitor, and the 4k will still run at 4k.

You should be able to control it through the NVidia control panel, or AMD's equivalent, and it should work regardless of resolution. I'm not too sure about different refresh rates though.

one is 60hz which is the general use and the 144hz is the gaming one

Just connect the monitors, set the 144 hz one to 144 hz in Nvidia or amd drivers, and then just put discord and stuff on the other monitors. It's literally dragging and dropping windows.

quick question are all hdd compatible with any setup

Any HDD with a sata connection (aka hdd from the last 15 years) will work.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Any monitors can be used side by side with different resolutions and settings. You will need to set them to expand the desktop rather than mirror. I use three to four monitors and none of them are the same size or resolution.
