Question Strange Laptop Noise

[Omega83]

Hi again guys. This may seem like a stupid question, but does the Gen/Generation matter when it comes to SSDs over storage capacity? The 4TB SSD that came with my current laptop is Gen 3 I think, and I got another 4TB SSD about a year or 2 later, but not sure what Gen that one is. Both SSDs are NVMe. Help appreciated

Hi guys. When I put my 2nd 4TB SSD in a new laptop when I buy one, do I need to wipe the SSD beforehand, or would it be ok to wipe it once installed in the new laptop? Right now, I am looking at a possible laptop that has 2 m2 SSD slots. The 4TB SSD I would be installing in the new laptop mostly has games on it, the other 4TB I have installed in my current laptop has games as well as the W11 OS on it. Help appreciated

There should be no reason to wipe it either before or after installing it, unless you really want it completely empty again.
