If possible one should never put their sounds/patches on the same drive as the program. YMMV


No reason to do that on a new PC unless terrible performance is the goal.

SSDs do not access or store data like HDDs. Get one big enough to hold everything. Do not partition or split onto multiple drives. Never, ever, ever run any so-called disk optimization utilities — the good ones do not run on SSDs but there is crapware that does.

Do back up.
