I plan on buying one of the new Seagate NL35 hard drives for my PowerMac G5. The model I want is a 250GB, SATA, 16MB Cache. Here are a few questions.
1) Which hard drive should I make my main hard drive? The 160GB stock or the 250GB Seagate.
2) I should load my programs, samples, and other instruments onto my main hard drive, and use the second hard drive as purely recording space?
3) Is it okay to put other files on my recording drive? I have an extensive music library and was curious which drive would be best to put that library on.
4) My last question pertains to my current external hard drive. I have an external enclosure with the Oxford 922 chip via FW800. The drive itself is a Seagate 160GB, ATA100, 8MB Cache drive. Whenever I run Logic and start recording, there is up to a 5 second delay from when I click the record button to when the program recognizes that it is going to record. It is a little tedious but records flawlessly after that little delay. What could be some problems that I should look into? Thanks!

Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0Ghz Rev. C, 2.5GB ram, 160GB External HD via FW800, FireBox, Logic Pro 7.1.1.

Lotus17! QUOTE Hmmm, Dixiechicken... I don't know what you mean by my "REAL" root/superuser password... I am trying to think my hardest about that... but I don't know what you mean. Thanks for the help. If you can get back to me and help me out, that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! I meant the password you decide to use when you activate your root account - with NettInfo.app. Lepetitmartien:s point about security risk is certainly valid to some degree. Most Linux/unix distros always have the root account activated - since thats the admin that actually installs the os on the computer. Although all distros also have the strongest urgings to create a normal user account and use this for daily tasks and only use the root account for configuring your system. IF you activate the root-account choose a safe password. (somthing like: YWXZphc_913-xdwQ) - a mixture of letters,number an other charsHavent tested his "sudo" suggestion myself - but it should work. Cheers: Dixiechicken
