Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable putting the media files and the OS on the same (SSD) drive. The media files are huge and you'll get new sets each and every time. So as you work, I am concerned that over time, they will wear out your OS drive too soon due to the huge amounts of writes.

I'm too lazy to google what the expected number is for the write capacity of the Samsung Evo, but I think consumer grade SSD are generally spec-ed to handle 20GB - 50GB's worth of data writes a day, and with this expected write duty, the manufacturer says they're good for something like 3 - 5 years. If I were you, I'd go google this stuff up and see for yourself how your usage patterns affect the SSD life, and whether you're comfortable with that.
