Since this is about dual tops, it is somewhat similar.

In the near future I am planning to add second loop for GPU since I'd like to keep CPU loop dedicated. In the process, I am certainly going to need larger res
since I have the smallest one form EK which has capacity od 150ml for that. I saw this 5.25" dual bay reservoir from XSPC, this is the product - link.

Now, I'm wondering are these bay reservoirs better or worse compared to standalone reservoirs, and is this a good idea since pump is not going to be the lowest component in the loop?

Until I add second loop, only one chamber will be used, so, is it going to affect loop's performance compared to this setup with standalone reservoir? And how much liquid this
reservoir takes since XSPC does not mention this number?
A res alone will not effect performance. Having the pump at the bottom of the res is more for ease of bleeding. It will just take a bit longer to bleed.
