Since the libraries are huge.... I like to install them on the data drives as opposed to the C drive.

The samples are going to be loaded to memory for use so it really doesn't matter where they are located. As long as your computer has sufficient power and memory, that's all that's really important.

I do the same thing with BB. I run it from the hard drive and only install the minimum on the C drive.

I store my current working project files on the C drive but periodically throughout the year I back them up, and at the end of each year, I move those folders to the data drive and make copies on a second data drive.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
