My personal preference is to keep all my files on a different ssd than my C:// drive. That way if my C drive (OS) becomes corrupted, I just reinstall windows on it and I’m good to go.

Well, that doesn't help much with aggressive malware/ransomware. They also scan and alter the data on the other connected drives.

An external drive, which get only connected for the backups / copying of data is a bit more secure.

To be more specific. I only use my windows rig for gaming and theater. All of my day-to-day stuff is done on my Mac. Therefore, I never get malware. Just had windows fail to boot and had to reformat the C drive, a few times. Backing up files looks tedious, but I’m sure it’s worth it for most folks.
