Your old SSD is too small for games, but perfect for things your main drive shouldn’t do
Unless the PC you're using right now is your first, you probably have at least one old SSD lying around. It's most likely a 250GB or 500GB drive that you once used, but no longer have any need for. I abandoned my 250GB Samsung SATA SSD after switching to NVMe SSDs, since the older drive was too small to remain relevant in my setup — until I found a use for it. If you, too, have an old SSD gathering dust in a drawer, you should take it out of hibernation and repurpose it for non-gaming use cases that are less than ideal on your main SSD. You could use it for testing risky software, installing other operating systems, or as a scratch disk. This way, you avoid excessive writes, data loss, and needless cluttering on your primary drive, while also avoiding the scrapyard for your old drive.
