I finally pulled the trigger last week on an additional SSD for the PC. Lenovo Legion prebuilt, rock solid going on 3 years now. I barely use it, the kids are on it probably 20+ hrs/week. I am its custodian.

I haven't done a thing to it physically aside from blow dust out of it. It's been a struggle to maintain space on the 500 gig SSD C drive though. It also came with a 1TB HDD so unfortunately all games have been going to that. With Assetto Corsa EVO coming this week (for ME to play) I decided it needed more fast storage.

Turns out you really do need that little screw for keeping an m.2 SSD in place! And the drive I bought didn't include one! Fortunately my old gaming laptop had a spare inside to donate

Worth mentioning, WinDirStat is a lifesaver. The C drive has been getting filled up inexplicably and it looked like mostly beamNG Drive. Well I moved the game to the new drive and there was A TON of data left over on C. Turns out every time the game gets a major update it creates an entire new install and leaves all old ones in place! Between moving the install and clearing the "cache" of old installs I freed over 200 gigs on C!
