I would place all of the project on the RAID 10 drive (D:). I would have used a RAID 5 but that’s up to you. I have only OS and Applications on my SSD (C:) drive and all of my projects on my RAID 5 drive.
As for the prerender folder, I keep that on the RAID 5 drive with the projects. I point temp files to the Users temp folder. Once you have a RAID it makes sense to just put everything on the RAID. That’s whole purpose of having a multi-drive RAID (so that you don’t have to worry about individual drives anymore and you let them work together to give the best throughput, which is also why I selected RAID 5 over RAID 10)
