VST / Sample library storage – Getting Started (AKA What is the best…?) Forum

My current set up is my Windows OS HDD (C drive) – it has the ‘My Docs’ and OS, DAW etc. and and second internal 1 TB SSD (D drive) for project files.

I understand that to get idea performance, you are best with 3 drives – 1 for OS/DAW, 1 for audio recordings, and 1 for VSTs/Sample libraries – first of all, is that correct do we think?

Secondly, with my current 2 drive set up, presumably am I best to store the VST/Sample libraries on the D drive (SSD) even though project files are there too?

Thanks.
