Characteristics for the guidelines for the use of the disc

Using CS4 body.  A year ago, I put my four hard drives to follow the instructions available on this forum.  I use four 7200 RPM hard drives. Each is a terabite.  Two are SATA and two eSATA.   However, there are some things that are not specifically mentioned and/or my technical knowledge and vocabulary is limited.

1. What is the difference in media and media cache database Cache files?  Should I make folders on a hard disk that is separated for each or choose both of them to go in the same folder?

2. what hard drive should choose to be my scratch disc?

3. Finally, how choose the swap file to be sure, he goes to a specific player?

4. where can I find "Insights" to direct them to the right drive?

Sorry if some of these questions do you "roll-your-eyes".  Thanks for your help.

Thank you, Tom B.

Let Windows manage the pagefile.  You nothing to gain by moving and can lose a lot of time if you don't set it properly.

In addition, you can leave the database where the PP puts.  The files are very small.
