Re #2-if its a desktop, install another SSD and record to that. My reason being that you can do backups of your system drive and audio drive separately(to external drives), and so you can copy important sessions so they exist on both internal drives(in addition to saving copies on an external drive). If your stuff doesn't exist in at least 3 places, then its not backed up! If you're thinking, "surely my new drive(s) won't fail for years", you could be wrong. That means, back up anything that you don't want to lose! Sorry to sound like a broken record on this, but I've had drives fail at 2 weeks, 1 year, and even 6 weeks with a Samsung SSD, so I take no chances now.

I'm running a custom built Pro Tools Studio desktop. It has a SATA SSD.
As I mentioned I have a separate system for mixing which is networked together, so I will be moving files across to that system after every session. So I only really need a temp location during recording
