I don't think that this usually is needed, using one drive with one

I might be mistaken, but I can't see a reason for a reasonably machine
to use 3 HDDs for audio production, to get a better performance.
What's the latest consensus? Is it
recommended to have a separate drive
for audio on a Linux system? Separate partition? I'm just wondering about
performance, not practical issues like moving audio around or reinstalling
the system, etc. As we know there are Mac/PC DAW's that need things
separate. Thanks.
Yes, OS on one drive, audio on a separate dedicated drive is best for
performance (and if you are using a sampler, the samples should be on
their own dedicated drive, if possible). Pretty standard practice for
audio or video workstation, regardless of OS.
