I plan on installing Fedora on the 2230 drive while Windows will be on the 2280 drive.
While I use Linux as my primary OS, it's mostly for low performance stuff (web browsing, maybe some emulation, etc).
Windows will be used for gaming so wanted a bigger and faster drive for it.
You can change it up if you want. But I wouldn't recommend an external USB drive as an OS drive. Windows wouldn't install on it anyways, but Linux can. For some use cases that may be good. If I wanted a Linux OS to boot from but also portable to use on a different PC if I needed to, that would be a great use case. Would probably encrypt it for good measure for this use case. It may be great if you want another main OS on the internal drive and an immutable or live USB living in your laptop that gives you the option to use on another PC for security reasons (only used for banking or for crypto transactions for example).
Wrong, I have windows 10 on my expansion card for over a year no issues. Need to use Rufus to install it onto the expansion card in to go mode. Just expect sata ssd performance. The framework cards are not mere cheap Flash drives as you typically find. These are very compact ssds with proper phison controllers
