Question(s) About Hardcore Item Stash

Hello Everyone,
I tried searching for this answer but didn’t get any hits. I’m guessing I already know the answer to this but just wanted to make sure. Any items I put in the regular item stash I will lose when my hardcore character dies right? So any epics, great gear I find that I want to make sure I keep and can use for other characters I need to store in the item transfer storage pages correct? Being my first play through of the game and playing hardcore I’ve filled up my transfer stash rather quickly. A few of the items just being crappy whites i put into the item transfer tab because I slotted some mods into them and so if I died early I’d have some good low level items.

I just got the ability to salvage stuff so should I just salvage the mods out of those white pieces and get rid of them for space in the item transfer page? The character item stash is gone upon RIP so I can move stuff there for the time being at risk of losing them until I hopefully can buy the upgrade and move them back correct? Being a complete and utter loot whore I always loved PoEs Pay to Stash ability but I respect GDs approach because it makes decisions like this more important. I have something like 36 stash tabs on PoE and another 15-20 tabs that are remove only carry overs from when leagues end and stash tabs go to the parent league because I just love to keep everything I find that I feel might be used for a future build I’d want to try out :D. Most of it never gets used though heh heh. I could spend seriously an entire day organizing those tabs it’s a bit ridiculous so yeah like I said I do like that it seems GD won’t let me turn my stash into a disaster.

Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to read and respond to this post even though I’m pretty sure I know the answer already :).
