setting up hardrives

[warcloud3]

i have been searching the forum for answers to setting up my hardrives, but seems everyone here has a Mac, lol

Sorry but I use Windows 7

I have a 1tb hardrive for system, going to partition 300gigs for operating system and 700gigs for samples and such. The second drive is a 7200rmp 500gig drive. I have a 4tb external drive for storing music files. I am also looking to buy a 500gig SSD. Any suggestions on which SSD to buy? Looking at Samsung Ev0 500gig, not sure if thats the best for my system.

My question is which configuration would be best for PT 12.

Im not sure if you install PT on the SSD drive or does it have to be installed on the drive with the operating system.

I am willing to listen to all suggestions as I have never used PT, nor have I installed it yet. Havnt even downloaded it yet.

I have Mbox, I believe it is 2, but not sure, on the box it says Mbox 4x4. But when i bought it I thought it was Mbox2, it came with PT express.

I have included the sandra report and just want to thank all who help on this wonderful forum
