Same advice as @Peon. The DS "Performance Series" is a mistake for your primary drive. The 500GB Firecuda is 5000 and 2500 read/write speeds vs 540 and 500. So almost 9x/5x faster. Game changing difference, boots in about 12 seconds.

Yeah I was going to go with one of those, but my wife bought me a 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe® SSD 1TB for my birthday. Lol

When you get your rig, it would be a very good idea to partition the 980 to create a drive of maybe 200 GB for your OS, apps, and maintenance software. Windows has a wizard for that, or you can look through some free partition software options online.

This will allow for Windows and those other things to be isolated on your fastest drive from everything else so the entire drive won't be effected if Win has a problem and needs to be restored. It also allows for much faster system maintenance scanning for adware, malware, viruses, etc. as the drive is limited to the size you make it.

Transfer the Set-up DS gives you on the slower drive, and make the new partition your "C" drive. You may have to make the new partition the place your system looks first for an OS in the UEFI/BIOS.
