I like to keep my projects off my OS drive, in case I need to do a fresh install - I don't have to worry about copying back and forth.

Personally, here's how I'm doing it:
C: - OS/Pro Tools on NVMe drive
D: - Pro Tools sessions on SATA SSD drive
E: - Samples, backups and other data on 2TB HDD

EDIT - and an external 2TB eSATA HDD for proper backup..

Thanks Joel. I do something similar. OS is on an NVMe. No samples or sessions on that. Sessions are on another 1TB NVMe with some samples (partitioned for organizational purposes) Some people may argue about this, but it's worked flawlessly for years. Other samples are on other SSDs. Backups are on HDDs.
