SSD/HDD/RAID0 for Premiere Pro

[NoahGoodrich]

Hi all,

I have a quick question regarding multiple drives for Premiere Pro.

I have the following drives in a Windows 10 system:

1x SSD 960GB

2x WD Black 7200rpm HD

My question is this: which of the following two options would yield the best performance in Premiere Pro, After Effects and Lightroom?

Option 1

SSD for OS and scratch disk

RAID0 on 2x HDDs for live project files

Option 2

SSD for OS

Hard drive 1 for scratch disk

Hard drive 2 for live project files

I'd also note that redundancy is not an issue in this system, I'm only looking for performance here - I have an external RAID6 12 bay system for storage where files are regularly backed up (plus online and 3rd level alternate location backup)

Any help is is most appreciated!
