Spreading the Resolve over several drives

Hi,

I am not a "newbie" - has almost 6 months of work inside now . However, this is a questions of installation, and disk space and speed. I am really squezed now, and dealing with ffmpeg commands and uncompressed video has produced 500GB+ files, so I had to stop that part of my projects.

I have an ASUS mobo (see details below) and right now two Samsung NVme disks:
On CPU side:
990 pro 1TB (PCIe 4) with Win11 Pro
980 PRO 2TB -"-
On 670X side:
only a Seagate 1TB SATA-III (storage only)

Backups are on a raided 4x3TB NAS.

I'm getting a couple of PCIe-5 Crucial T705 disk coming week, a 1TB to run the OS on and a 4TB for handling the videos. (but is that optimal?)

So, the old PCIe-4 are going to be placed under 670X control.

From what I have seen one can split part of the Resolve Studio items into other disks, and databases, media, cache, and stills are mentioned in some articles on this forum.

So, what would be the best possible way to use the drives? I have not seen anything about how much speed is needed for cache, database and such. My guess was that space for the videos, step by step, was best of under CPU control?

I'd be grateful for any insights into how the system works optimised.
