This has been touched upon a few times in previous threads, but I cannot seem to find a definitive answer to this question.

In FCP, you have the option of saving your Media, Cache and Libraries to different locations.

My question is, optimally, where should you store each of these 3?

Currently, I have...

my Cache on a dedicated external nvme drive (speeds of 2.5GBps)

my Media on a dedicated external ssd drive (speeds of 1GBps)

But I am unsure as to where to put my libraries.

Should they have their own separate drive, or can they be on the same drive as the Cache drive or Media drive?

For the record, everything is backed up properly on 3 other external drives, so that's not an issue.

Thanks in advance
