3ssd system - ? how to allocate

i posted this last night in computers but maybe is more appropriate here since it is not really a computer issue per se.

Just built a new pc today. I will fill in details of the setup when I have more time, but wanted to get this question out before I start populating the ssd's. 
(1) samsung evo 250 - OS and programs
(2) samsung evo 500 - samples
(3) samsung evo 500 - audio projects
 
My question is how do you separate out in Sonar, for instance, the program components vs sample content and projects? And for vsti's that that are sample based like Kontact instruments, should I be putting all of Maverick on the samples disk or should the program parts be on the (1) drive. Same question for AD2.  For non-sample based like Lounge Lizard, should that just go on drive (1) or should all soft synths and effects plugs go on sample disc anyway? I have tried to do this before on my old system but over time things have become almost hopelessy jumbled and have created problems esp w Kontact which does not seem to like its directories being moved around.
 
Similar question. Seems many vst want to create their own plugin folder. I would prefer to keep all plugins in one folder for 64 and one for 32. Is this practical or just asking for trouble?

    For instruments (like AD) that insist on installing their sample content on drive C, I move the sample content to my sample drive and make a junction from the c drive directory of the sample content to the sample drive directory where I moved the content to.

    go to cakewalk command centre/settings/paths and choose your directory there, AD online installer will let you choose where to store sample content as well
