    Hey I have a question not sure if someone can help me.

    I have a Asus ROC setup & I need to set it up properly with hard drive, ram, ssd and external drive. I am a noob and dont really know what i am doing. I have a C: drive (1TB) with 450 mb healthy recovery partion, 100mb efi system partition, 300 healthy recovery partition, and 930 GB NFTS for boot, page file, crash dump and primary partition. I also have (4) SSDs each 8gb.

    I am looking to optimize my system for speed and performance. I think a good idea would be to run startup boot from the ssds? I would like to run and put caches for heavy programs to run on the ssds? Etc Etc.

    However my ssds do not appear as normal drive storage space, nor do i know how to access and optimize them properly balancing the other needs/wants i have.

    Please help!

    UPDATED QUESTION:
    I have a Asus ROC, Windows 10 setup & I need to set it up to maximize performance properly with hard drive, ram, ssd and external drive. I am a noob and dont really know what i am doing. I have a C: drive (1TB) with 450 mb healthy recovery partion, 100mb efi system partition, 300mb healthy recovery partition, and 930GB NFTS for boot, page file, crash dump and primary partition. I also have (4) SSD each 8gb.

    I am looking to optimize my system for speed and performance. Is it a good idea to run startup boot from the ssds? If so how do I set that up? Is it wise to run and put caches for heavy programs to run on the ssds? If so how, I dont not see my SSD drives as available storage space on the explorer? They do not appear as normal drive storage space, nor do i know how to access and optimize them properly balancing the other needs/wants i have. I cant even see my SSDs let alone use them>>??

    I am a photographer, videographer & graphic designer & I use the entire Adobe line of products on a very regular basis. How can I maximize my PC considering the heavy use of these heavy programs? Should I purchase more disk space/hard drive/etc?

    Example: for a program such as lightroom/photoshop-- Normally I run the program off the C drive, accessing relevant files off my external hard drive with the programs cache on the main C drive as well. Is there a better way? For example to put the cache on the SSDs?

    Please help! Thanks for any tips advice & directions!!
