video editing organization

Hello,
I am trying to figure the best way or organize my project files and raw footage while editing. I already have an external hard drive with usb3.0, so I was planning to dump my raw footage there and use an internal ssd for the program and project files (haven't gotten the computer yet). I was wondering if this is will allow me to edit fast and easy, or if putting the raw footage on the internal ssd would make the editing and rendering faster?
 
Hardware specs, media types, codec, bitrate, size, workflow, effects used, software settings and so on.

For instance, not every SSD drive is created equal. Workflows, codecs, effects used and software settings can alter speed drastically.

You'll also need to do the research to the hardware performance.
