Adobe Photoshop recommends setting the primary scratch disk to another drive. If your drive is partitioned, you can select the drive in which Windows isn't installed. This results to faster and better performance when working on graphics.
You may, however set it to the primary volume but with slight degradation in performance. It's still ok, though.
