I bought this in July for Prime Day for this price (1TB, $50) and upgraded my boot drive from a 950 500gb to the 1tb 980. Also updated my CPU so I did a clean install of Win11
It's fast as a whistle & I can have more in the default Program Files etc

Windows allows you to redirect everything, including where it downloads its own updates.
Why you would want to do this is simple: Small, quick, painless backups of your OS that are easy to restore and unburdened by clutter.
It used to be that it was recommended that you install Windows, update your drivers, and then install all of your must have applications before doing a backup.
But ever since fast internet has been available and everything is cloud based anyway, it makes little sense to try to restore a backup of an application that is going to try to update as soon as you launch it.
There's still exceptions, of course. If you have data caps and you play large games, not backing them up can easily eat up a quarter of your data cap for the month.
You'd have to transfer the data off if you really want to ensure it's kept.
