Install DCS, SteamVR and WMR on same drive, or different ones?

This might be a stupid question, but, assuming I have one M.2 with w10 and an empty SSD, both 1TB, how would you recommend install DCS, Steam and WMR (Hp g2)?
 
1.- DCS on the main drive, m.2, and the rest on the SSD
2.- Everything on the m.2
3.- Join both disks on a raid (they have different performance so I guess this is no good option

Iirc, all DCS install with the modules I own needed about 400-500GB total disk space, so the disk wouldn't reach the limit where efficiency decreases even if I install everything together
 
Thanks for any input!

It will make no practical measurable difference.

Have DCS on a separate drive no need for it to be on your system drive.

What speed is the M2??

 

If it's a PCI-E V4 drive and on supporting hardware it could make a significant difference...

Nvidia RTX3080 (HP Reverb), AMD 3800x

Asus Prime X570P, 64GB G-Skill RipJaw 3600

Saitek X-65F and Fanatec Club-Sport Pedals (Using VJoy and Gremlin to remap Throttle and Clutch into a Rudder axis)

I have WMR and Steam VR on my C drive, and DCS on my D drive.

Both are 1tb m.2 Nvme drives.
