*configuring
Hey all I'd appreciated any advice!
I'm going to do fresh install
I'm trying to decide on best way how to configure my hard drives
My PC is used for gaming and video editing / animation

HARD DRIVES AVAILABLE:
1x 1tb m.2 nvme
3x 1tb HDD
1x 128gb ssd
1x 40gb ssd (i have it may as well use it)

I can't afford to buy any more hardware atm and I read it's best to install games and Adobe apps on separate Windows installations for stability- It would be easier to maintain if they were separate.

Feels very unorthodox but so far I'm thinking..

Gaming / general use :
Nvme = Windows, apps & some games
2x 1tb hdd raid 1 for general storage

Professional Editing :
128 ssd Windows and Adobe apps
1 x 1tb hdd storage
40 gb for a cache drive
- I have plenty of external drives for large rushes files etc.

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks for any help!

Rushes / footage large video files normally on external hard drives provided by client.
SanDisk ssd extreme usually.

Mechanical HDD will just be for project files, final masters and misc storage
