One question to you guys:
My secondary SSD in my laptop is dying. Well, maybe not dying, but slowing down to the point of blocking the entire PC, even things that are only on the system drive get affected by the slowdown. And with slowing down, I mean, without any exaggeration, Floppy Disc speeds, where it gets pings of over a couple seconds for chunks of data that are less than 100kB in size.
I bought a new one to replace it (2TB WD Black SN770, which I got for 114€ on Cyber Monday), but my question is: Should I simply take out the old one and replace it with the new one or should I try and delete everything from the old drive first (or even reformat it) before exchanging the drives? So far in 30 years, this is the first time a secondary storage drive died on me, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed on this one.
