Folder structure / Drive letter suggestions

[ItchyRobot]

I finally got around to building a new computer, so I'm finally going to start building my emulation station. Before I go all in, I want to make sure I am structuring my files in a smart manner. See folder structure below for how I plan on doing this. 

Even though my C-drive is a faster SSD drive, I am still planning on putting all my data on my slower internal 4TB storage drive, the Z-drive. The reason for this is because I want to be able to back it up easily to my external drive. If I have the emulators, images, videos on the C-drive and my roms on the Z drive, it could be tough managing an easy drag and drop backup. Plus, having it all on one drive will make it much more mobile, to be used on other PC's, like at a friends house.

Also, the reason I made my internal 4TB drive the letter Z is to make sure I don't have any rom path issues when I do use this build on other PC's ... I ran into this issue with my MAME build sometimes when playing on other PC's ... I assume this could be an issue with other emulators too.

Let me know if anyone has any thoughts on my plans, or any tips from past experience. I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row before a go all in and set all my emulators up.  Thanks!
