Now for items where drive speed doesn't matter - yes, making an alias to the new location is the easiest and most convenient way to go.
But aren't most samples loaded into ram?

Let's say you have 32 to 64 gigs of ram and let's say 5 to 20 gigs of samples loading from your HDD into that ram, (and your project is on your SSD of course), then there really shouldn't be any performance difference correct?

Of course when you first load the samples when launching your project would take a few seconds longer but once it's all in ram would there really be a performance difference?
