If I had known linux runs games better I would have switched years ago.
It doesn’t go anywhere. In the file explorer you can just open the disk and work with the contents. Linux can access ntfs drives.
You could detach them before installation, I did that with windows too in the past, to make sure they aren’t accidentally formatted during installation.

Ok so now you gotta help me figure something out
Im sort of a hoarder when it comes to my data - as in I don’t know what takes up 80% of my storage space but it does.
And I really want to switch to Linux, but the daunting task of finding where 8+ TB of data needs to go before I install it has slowed me down.
Actually 8TB isn’t that bad thinking about it. Maybe it’s just time to find anything I care about and just purge the rest, and start fresh?

:O that’s amazing
When you’re on Linux, use czkawka to clean out your files. It searches for duplicates, big files, empty files, …
Also works on windows, if you want to clean first.

btw, you’re creating backups, right? A big disk 8TB is fairly inexpensive. Back it up before you do large file transactions.
… Yeah we’ll go with the idea that I’m creating backups
You are the luckiest motherfucker on earth if your 8tb of data is safe on the same drive as windows.
Id just start fresh. Most of the crap you don’t need. If you needed it youd know exactly what it is and would follow the backup law.
Oh it’s not on the same drive as windows. It’s just scattered amongst various SSDs
I’d recommend Winderstat to figure out what’s causing the bloat
