3 physical hard drives + 1 external hard drive.

The SSD is partitioned to two, where system and program files are in one, and projects are in a separate partition.

A 1TB HDD attached has two partitions, one to contain photos (organized by year/event), music (genre/artist), etc.

The other partition contains temporary files. Browser downloads, torrent downloads, encoded media files, etc go on here. If I don't bother to move a file elsewhere, it's deleted after 30 days automatically.

A third HDD is for backups. I use idrive 5TB plan for cloud backups, but also use Windows backups just in case.

An external hard drive contains movies, all photos (I have a Nikon DSLR and shoot in raw), and a copy of veracrypt drives I manually backup to).

I occasionally mount a veracrypt drive (16GB) for private keys, financial documents, passport scans, bank statements, etc).
