Possible to install apps on second SSD?

I have a 2TB SSD installed in my mini PC along with the 500GB NVME SSD. Start9 OS is installed to the NVME SSD. Could apps be installed to the 2TB SSD?

Under backups its listed as /dev/sda4.

Is this possible?

I ask because the 500GB NVME SSD is not big enough for BTC core.

Not including backup drives, as of StartOS 0.3.5, StartOS uses two partitions. One system partition, and one data partition. These partitions can be on separate physical drives, but there is very little benefit to doing do. StartOS is very small, so the system partition doesn’t take up much space anyway. The data partition holds all your service containers, which includes their data. The simplest thing to do, and my recommendation, would be to simply transfer your system from the 500GB SSD to the 2TB SSD, using this migration guide.

You could use the 500GB drive as a backup drive, since blockchain data is not included in the backup.
