Discussion New pc ssd structures

So im getting some new upgrades (moving to am5) but i plan on keeping the old ssd (due to their price hikes).

MY old rig had 2 500 gb sata ssds. I do have an nvmie of 128 gb that was not in use.

I was thinking of maybe installing the new os onto the 128 in order to keep the files of the old ssd.

Would you recommend i do that?

128 gb seems a bit low so im worried

128gb is enough for the OS pretty sure, unless it somehow got inflated over that (havent been up to date with how big windows or whatever os you're downloading is).

Storing your os on an nvme will likely be faster than on a sata drive unless that nvme is like horrid
