    thatºs my objective. But I’m just not sure how to organize OS and the rest of the data. Or if I just use an SSD, or just an NVMe drive…

      Not really certain what you mean by that. Assuming that you’re using a Linux distribution, you can map multiple drives to that installation. Really it depends on what you want to do and how you do it. There are many, many options. If you are not familiar with a unix-based environment, I would advise that you start there and figure out later what distro you want to use and how you want to use it.

        Got some time so I’ll elaborate: which type of device has the best balance of price, speed and reliability? I would use that for the OS. Would the other type of device be worth it for rest of the data? Or should I go all in on the same technology? I’ve always preferes to keep these two on separate “hard drives”.

          NVME is a physical size standard A NVME SSD and a normal 2.5 inch SSD are the same tech different form factor. NVMEs are a bit more expensive normally. Just look for a SSD that has 3d nand cache the more the better. Though I will note since the NVME SSDs are physically closed to the CPU and South bridge they are a mote faster.
