why chonk up drive C ??

i dont get it.
what are the advantages ??

i used to load up my C drive until now the m.2 over usb is so darn fast.
insane transfer speed for me.
and doing everything off the external m.2 over usb keeps everything tidy.
i wish pg would chime in (simon ??) and tell us what transfer speed over usb might cause a prob. i havent had nary a one.
blink of an eye gens.

also...and i dont know if this applies to win 11.
but it used to be a given...and we used to do this in tech industry also...

big recording studios used to 'never' do music production on the same drive that win resided on...ie C...cos it was found that sometimes win would 'interfere' with music production tasks executing.
so we used to use 2 drives...one for win and one for music production otherwise on occasion we found that we would get 'hiccups in the audio caused by win tasks on C doing their thing.

a reason why a lot of studios used always desktops/pc towers was one drive laptops being a problem due to the prob mentioned above.
so the big boys often used the big hp and lenovo powerfull xeon towers which could accomodate multiple drives while keeping on C only the win os.

i'll leave you good folks this thought...
when you receive your pg ssd (without disturbing any of the pg files) if you inspect it youll see exe program icons for both bb and bb plugin and rb one can just click on to bring up the respective app directly from the pg ssd.
(note...not the bb plugin dll meant to be a vst plugin in a daw but the standalone bb plugin exe...).
why would pg do this if there was a possibility of probs ?
so what i do is in win task bar i have icons for both bb and rb.
just click em' and either bb or rb boot up fast in just a couple of secs.

in summary...with blazeing fast usb speeds now (with maybe usb 4 on the horizon doubling speeds ?) why chonk up the C drive ??


merry x to all.
