Will Proxmox eat all my drives?

Silly question, but...

In the proxmox video wendell did a few years ago, he said to unplug all the drives that weren't going to become part of proxmox at install. I have the newest version of proxmox installed to an SSD. Just checking with everyone that if I plug everything else back in so I can resume dual booting, that the new drives won't be assimilated NEXT time I reboot back to proxmox. Right?

Seems like it wouldn't do that without me specifying it use those, and a quick edit to fstab could stop them from even mounting. Am I correct in assuming that?

Posting because I'm a little paranoid, and it's my first time using proxmox. Loving it so far (it has ZFS now), and GPU passthrough seems to work.

He just means to make sure the boot loader gets installed on the right drive, if you plug them back in nothing will happen to them unless you do it.
