Support Assist OS Recovery with multiple SSDs
Alienware m16 R1
I seem to have deleted the recovery partition on my primary drive and I am trying to reset everything to factory settings (all recovery partitions and boot partitions like they came originally.
I understand that all partitions on my primary (OS/Boot) SSD will be deleted, but my query is about the secondary drive. I have a secondary 4TB SSD which contains a lot of data and also my backup of the boot drive. Does Support Assist OS recovery delete all data in ALL SSDs or just the primary SSD?

@Chino de Oro it didn't actually. I was kinda sure that it won't delete the secondary drive, as it was never mounted because of being bitlocker encrypted; I only put the recovery key of the primary drive. Took a risk by only unlocking primary device and then performing recovery, all went well.
Thanks for a response, though!

It was not supposed to. But, to be certain, remove all data drives (or disconnect cables) to safeguard from any mishaps. Reconnecting it/them after the recovery is complete.
