With greatest respect , now i’m confused.

For years it was standard procedure in win based studios to use multiple seperate drives.
At least 2 separate drives…one for win and one for recording activities.
Various user pro recording threads/sites reflected this.

The introduction of massive sample libs further complicated matters,....
Thus lots of studios would add more drives.

The reason that win had its own drive was it was found that otherwise having all on the win drive could lead on larger trak counts to ‘audio stutters’ cos sometimes win interrupted to do a win os task.
I personally experienced the stutter problem on one drive pc’s.
As soon as i gave win os its own drive the stutter problem ended.
Now admittedly this was in the old drive tech era.
But i know loads of studios have carried the divide and conquer idea into the ssd era. even tho' we now have higher bandwidth. i gotta say seperate ssd's have worked great for me. and i'm not alone in this.

Maybe things are different on the mac ?
Perhaps you might explain further reasoning behind your position ?

Happiness.
