Linda,
To assign a dedicated video (audio, graphics, etc.) drive select your preferred drive in your nle’s preference/options settings menu. Sounds like a good strategy. Just remember to have an external drive(s) to back-up your OS and raid 0 array. I don’t think you need to partition your C: drive to split the OS and Programs. Usually, that partitioned portion is used as storage for C: drive file backups, etc. Hopefully, you’re not planning on putting so many programs on your C: drive that your OS can’t function! Having extra drives makes life easier when you can assign them to specific tasks and use them as scratch disks or for storing previews.
