Crucial x6, 4tb - first time use.

Storage Setup

Hello, so back in December of 2022, I got a gaming laptop with only 500 gb of storage. With talking to the people they recommended when I needed more storage to get a ssd for more space.

I went and got the 4tb drive in February of 2023.

I had it by my laptop for a while, but then ended up putting it in my safe and ended up kind of forgetting about it for a while.

Over the years I installed and uninstalled steam games based on what I was playing and when…

Well more recently I got Poe 2 (Paths of Exile 2) and I have other games on my laptop I don’t want to uninstall anymore…

Ironically at first I looked into getting a new hard drive, but upon talking to people figured out that they’re much more expensive than they used to be due ai etc.

When talking about things, it kind of made me recall things more and I looked to see if I could find the portable hard drive I’d gotten years back.

Thankfully found it, spoke to a person briefly but now that I have it on my laptop- I’m a bit anxious about messing something up..

So posting a pic of my C drive being nearly full and my d drive being completely empty.

I want to make sure that I can just move files with no issues, especially for games.

I was told I could use it to play games from it, and just trying to figure out if I need to do anything a specific way or in a certain order. Especially if the game has mod files (sim games).

Thank you for your time and patience. 🌸
