If I'm buying any new drive, it's going in the laptop so I get more total storage.

I don't have a home network so a NAS isn't a great option.

Raid 0 is what my laptop shipped with for... Whatever reason MSI had. And I didn't bother to change it when I probably should have knowing that redownloading all my data on a connection that doesn't reliably run HD video is a miserable and long process.

I have important paperwork backups on my phone, and/or emailed to myself but literally the basic process of downloading and installing steam is slow as hell and means the internet can't be used for anything else.
