    Drive 1: OS and software/plug-ins
    Drive 2: Projects and audio
    External drive: Project and audio backup
     
    If you have streaming sample libraries, get a 3rd internal drive and install library files on that for better performance. But SONAR doesn't include any streaming synths, so if that's all you've got, then you're all set.
