I like to keep everything that has to do with my project in one folder. That means the project file as well as the source video. I would do all of my editing on the SATA 3 drive because you want your editing experience to be as smooth as possible. You can then render to one of the SATA 2 drives because renders are usually CPU/GPU intensive and not I/O bound.
