I don't think that this usually is needed, using one drive with one
partition IMO usually isn't a bottleneck. It's IMO useful to separate
drives regarding to convenience, but not regarding to performance.
I might be mistaken, but I can't see a reason for a reasonably machine
to use 3 HDDs for audio production, to get a better performance.
