Would multiple installations connecting to different accounts benefit from being on separate dedicated SSDs for each installation? Or will one dedicated SSD that is fast and large enough be as proficient? |

It is better to use separate SSDs but it is not necessary.

How much of a difference in performance would you expect in separate dedicated SSDs per SC install, vs all Sierrachart installs running on one dedicated SSD?

When looking at NVME SSDs, what use case in SC is most critical - random 4k read/write, sequential 64k read/write, IOPS?

From our perspective it is hard to say what the performance difference would be. Most of the time it would not be observable when working with NVME data storage devices. In general you would notice the difference, when opening Chartbooks in two or more instances at the same time and those instances are on separate drives. Sierra Chart reading and writing is always going to be sequential. Never random. There is never any random reading or writing. It is always sequential. Although when initially opening Intraday data files, there is going to be some random movement to locate a particular record. This is minimal though.
