Use for what? The iMatch database? Go for the SSD. And as you have lots of space there, also the preview cache.

I think I need to Consider all of these but I would like to have you's and body's thoughts. As to which drive to use.

I would follow Carlo's recommendation:

Put the IMatch database on one of your SSDs, either the C: boot drive or the H: drive (I assume that's an internal drive). It looks like you have plenty of room on your C: drive for an IMatch database.

Your photos can be on your D: drive.

And of course follow the other recommendations in 'Things to Consider', especially 'Exclude the database folder in your anti-virus software'.

I would also go, like Carlo and jch2103 have written.
