Hey folks, 

Question .  VFX artist.  Running Houdini and Nuke mostly.  I just installed a new optane 905P ssd in my machine.  Im trying to understand the best way to optimize it, without reinstalling my entire operating system on it.  

Ive been told when you run a program, the only drive that matters is the drive that work is actually being done on.  Does this mean it doesnt matter that much where the program is installed?  If that's the case, I can keep the program installed on my current ssd, and then have my files on the optane drive, and still reap the full benefits of optane.  However, if the program is constantly calling on libraries from the other drive, perhaps I should reinstall the programs onto that hard drive as well?

Not entirely sure how this stuff works.  Breakdown would be helpful.  Thanks!
