I never save anything that I generate to the internal drive (so expansions, projects etc are on an SSD).

However I recently made some effect presets. (And some chains too). As usual, the machine gave a default save location on the internal drive.

I did save those there, because I wasn't sure if that's where they need to be to be seen/accessible. Is that correct & wise, or can/should effect presets be saved elsewhere as well?

FX presets don't take up much space so you can, but I still I wouldn't. You can save the FX with the project & or, make a FX folder on the SSD for FX you plan to use on other projects as general FX presets.
