    For the OS drive, a PCIe 4.0 NVMe with around 5000 to 7000 MB per second read speed feels fast and responsive, a 1 TB size gives you enough room for Windows and apps. For the data drive, a mid range PCIe 3.0 or 4.0 model with around 3000 MB per second is already fine and a 2 TB size gives you comfortable space for games and files.

    What's the difference between putting the VST's on the OS drive or Data drive. Also which drive is optimal for the recording project files?
