I am not sure this is the correct spot for my question.
I am old school trs-80 old school.
Anyway I am used to regularly loading windows on on 1 drive. That is its purpose the OS.
A 2nd drive for windows temp files, swap files and programs that need temp files.
A 3rd drive for loading my programs.
A 4th for files.
I still only load windows on 1 drive and use a second for my files. this way I never have to worry about loosing files if the system crashes and has to be reloaded.
but with ssd's etc is there still any benefit to having temp and program files separate?
The problem used to be read write speeds of drives I wonder if splitting them up will bottleneck in the controller now.
I am not really asking about real world noticeable improvements I am talking theoretical and maximum everything running at its max speeds.
I have looked arounsd the web and have not see anyone talking about this. I thought this up because I have so many spare parts around its not a cost issues.
Minor note: I have a Nvme PCIEe cad that my computer will not boot to. BUT it can see it and I could use that for swap and temporary files. That would beat any SSD drive I have.
