OMEN by HP 25L Gaming Desktop PC GT15-0000i RCTO Base Models (LaprasI)

Hello, I installed a 2TB Western Digital SSD and cloned everything from the WDF SSD 256GB that came with the computer. Should I erase the data on the 256GB SSD and if so, how should I do it? Thank you.

It is up to you: what are you going to do with it. In my case I simply turn it to an external HDD or keep it for back up which allow to go back to original any time. Finally I can simply hit it with hammer and put it to a bin.

Thank you for the reply Banhien. Well, the smaller SSD is also installed inside my dekstop so now both M.2 SSD's have identical information on them. I would like to erase the smalled (256GB) SSD. Does it have any effect on performance? Does the HP Omen 25L Dorado motherboard have erase capability or do I need an outside program? Thanks.

 

Kind regards,
