I added in a 8TB Western Digital Gold I bought on Amazon, three SSD drives, a NVMe drive, and four USB hard drives from the other PC I had which coincidentally just died a few weeks after getting this new one. I also bought another 32 GB of ram, and one more Phanteks case fan so as to max that out. I have Primo Cache software, so the memory gets put to use.
It's overkill, but all in all it made sense to get it. Given the shortages and the scalping, I can't say I wasted a lot of money.
