Hi everyone,

I have been following the older threads about best hardware for running Studio smoothly, and I have a question.

What is best setup for Studio, in terms of speed and preventing sluggishness, when it comes to the storage? I see some speak of having  a separate ssd units for windows+studio and an other ssd for TMs and TBs. Why is this faster than having everthing on the one ssd

The laptop I bought has 11th gen i7 processor with Iris Xe integrated graphics processor, one 256GB  SSD in a M.2 slot, and with a SATA slot for a second SSD, 8GB of RAM which I will upgrade to 24GB (one free slot). I intend to run Studio 2021 and Termbase on it.

If I understood correctly, people recommend running windows and Studio from the native SSD, and put TMs and TBs on a separate ssd.

Why would this be better than running them on the same SSD?

Would it be the same if I made 2 partitions on the systems ssd?

In this perspective, does it matter where I store and run my project files from?

Why not save projects on the same ssd as system+programs?

So, lots of questions, because I really wonder if we aren’t just talking about marginal improvements here. That is why I’d like to understand the reason a separate SSDs (or partitions) would be better.

Thanks
