Just looking at this again slightly more seriously - is there a reason to get 2 x 4TB rather than 1 x 8TB other than cost?
Would this actually work (albeit with some but not a life changing hit on performance) if I plugged it in and made some bios changes to the mobo? Feels like getting a single thing is less to go wrong than having 2 things plugged into another thing... https://www.awd-it.co.uk/components/solid-state-drives-ssd/gen4/corsair-mp600-pro-nh-8tb-ssd-gen-4-nvme-m-2-solid-state-drive-cssd-f8000gbmp600pnh.html?
Klarna and just getting it tomorrow is highly appealing.
Yes, that drive will work, although a 7.68TB Samsung PM9A3 datacentre drive is £200 cheaper, which seems like a no-brainer to me...
Thank you. Last one - would one perform better than the other? E.g. am I hobbling the Corsair to the same speed as the u.2 (which presumably fits in a completely different slot on the mobo based on shape?)
