How do you store music samples?
So musicians should ideally store all their sample libraries on one separate drive or partition, but if you need polyphony greater than a couple of hundred simultaneous voices, it's probably worth splitting them across two or more dedicated sample drives.
How do I organize samples in Ableton?
Create a dedicated folder where all of the samples that you've sourced will live. This is a great place to put unzipped folders of drum sounds or tracks you plan on sampling. You can use Add Folder in the Places menu to Live to give you direct access to that folder right in the Ableton Live ecosystem.
