For those that are running Windows 10/11 Pro, you can use Windows Storage Spaces. It's similar to RAID in concept. I've had four SSDs running as a single array/drive letter to make storing lots of data, games, etc. much easier. You can even expand the array or dynamically remove drives if you have enough empty space (a good option for upgrading if, for example, you only have 4 SATA ports, and you want to upgrade one of the drives to a larger size). I used that feature to replace a 500GB SSD with a 2TB one (I started with 4x 500GB SSDs, but now have 1x 1TB SSD and 3 x 500GB SSDs).

The drawbacks: A failure in a single drive will cause the loss of the entire array (actually, it'll more likely go into read-only mode, and you will be able to recover some data), but you should really only use this feature if you are properly backing up any important data (which you should be doing anyway), or it's something that's easily replaceable (like downloadable games, media, etc.; usually user data and saved games are stored on your OS drive regardless of game location, which you should also back up). You can, of course, choose to implement mirroring or assign parity drives, but those features are more for high-availability, and they offset the value by reducing the usable space. This approach has server me well because I can use a single large volume of SSD space instead of manually deciding which of 4 drives I want to store data on (and the inevitable wasted slack space on each). It has served me well for years, and through the price gouging trend SSDs (hopefully now, that's in the past).

For more information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us.../overview. It's far harder to understand, at least in cmplex configurations, than it is to implement; but you can easily set it up in minutes using the GUI (search Start for "Storage Spaces") or PowerShell (references in the above article). I hope this helps.
Really? The $16 PNY 120GB SSDs that ran in my mining rigs 24/7 for years making me obscene amounts of money didn't seem like e waste.
Endurance is 200TBW. No DRAM cache, but it does have an SLC write cache. Not a bad price, but not really a deal either.

Would this be something that I could drop into the drive bay of my laptop and use for apps and storage, and run the OS on the current NVMe drive? I'm currently running everything on a 1TB WD Black NVMe drive but I could definitely use some more space. I suppose a 1-2 TB drive would be ideal, but do I have the right idea, using the NVMe drive for the OS, and the 2.5" SSD for apps and storage? Any recommendations for the 2.5" drive, or do I just need a larger model of the drive in the deal?

This will work perfectly fine if you have a 2.5 bay that is free. How much space you need is really just up to you.

You definitely have the right idea, but since every laptop is different, make sure you have a 2.5in SATA drive bay. A lot of newer laptops that come with NVME SSDs, if they have support for a second drive at all, will be for another M.2 form factor SSD.

Is $3 off really such a slick deal? This is PNY so quality is already terrible.

It definitely has a 2.5" drive bay. Although this particular Asus was sold as a gaming laptop in 2020, it had the odd combo of a very small (256gb) NVMe drive and a 1TB MECHANICAL 2.5" drive. I ditched the mechanical drive when I upgraded the NVMe drive, figuring I would be good on storage. But we all know how that prediction always turns out...
Anyways, thanks for the advice.
