If I wanted 2 TB worth of games to play downloaded on my machine and also Adobe Premiere Pro for daily use, which is the better set up :

2 x 5TB SSD or 10TB SSD with everything on.

How will having the programs on a different SSD to the OS affect performance?

Thanks.

The ideal set-up in this case, maybe, would be Adobe and OS on the same drive
and all the games are on the other one.
It seems like there is a negligible effect of having games on separate drives,
My guess is other hardware like Ram and CPU are more important. Storage probably only affects
things like load times, which don't bother me much.
But if I was using Abode everyday, I would put it on the same one to make sure it runs as smooth as possible.

There is also if the OS fails to consider. So and I think this situation would help for that.
I would put important files I want to keep on the other SSD or on an external one.
And for the sake of organisation rather than performance, Id have more than two places to store things.
But not a third SSD because that's too expensive and not needed.

But in my situation, I don't need a bunch of games installed anyway,
I can download them as required, it doesn't really matter.

With Adobe and video work, from what I know of it, heavy users would normally have a separate drive that they use as a working drive (scratch disk). That would make sense if you were regularly writing/reading large files, since otherwise the OS drive might hang.

Brilliant, thanks for that clarification.
