Yes. (Except I named my system drives "SERR VIII" and "Studio Earth VIII".
I have redundant system drives in case of hardware failure at a live show.)

I don't use any instrument plugins for running live sound of course. The instruments are real, on stage, and being played by real musicians.
I use VSTi's in the studio here and there. Pretty much anything goes in studio mode. I set the disc buffer to 2048 and just forget about it since there is no need for live sound with "real-time" low latency. The SSD is still the "high performance" workspace for audio. However you can get away with a lot with HDD's in a pinch. The SSD is required for live sound mode.

Thanks!

Putting anything on a standard HDD would slow your system down vs. using the SSD.
