Based on the general recommendations here, I am planning to run Blue Iris on a SSD (along with the OS and clip database) with a WD Purple hard drive for the rest. Slightly embarrassing question, as I've never had a hard drive without an OS on it: If there is no OS on the WD Purple drive, how - and with what - does this drive get formatted? Does Blue Iris do it?

No, BI will not. Format the new drive in Windows, NTFS.

Got it - through disk management then. Thanks! It's like owning a car for twenty years and suddenly realizing you don't know how to turn on the hazard lights.
