SONAR Installation location preferences

hello, 
Looking for the optimum storage location for the software and the recorded files.
 
On a windows 10 PC, 1) when installing SONAR is it better to install on the same C: drive as the operating system or another drive:
 
Also, 2)  should I store the recorded file folders on same drive as the software
 
or does it matter at all?
 
Thank you for any replies.

    Hi. I have SONAR installed on C, along with  OS, plugins and soft synths etc.
    I have samples, libraries and projects (incl. recorded Audio) on separate drives.
    All the best
