I'm setting up a new computer system. Have a question about BIAB / RB performance. I'll load my programs on an SSD and have two HD's available for "data" (documents, pictures, etc) and "music" (BIAB/RB songs, Kontakt and SampleTank samples, midi data).

Is it better to put the sample libraries, RealTracks and my songs together on the "music" drive. Or would it be best to separate the samples and RealTracks onto their own drive?

In the past, I've combined the samples and songs on the same drive but since I'm reconfiguring thought I would ask for best performance practice.

Is their any performance difference splitting the RealTracks and songs from one another in regards to regeneration or playback?

Appreciate your insight and help.

Jeff
