1t Seagate As Boot Drive Or Audio Drive?, Drives for my 2.8 dual quad (January 08) Options

[SadPandas]

Hello friends... So, after being a total ass and using my system drive to record audio on for the last couple of months i have decided to get the most out of my machine and my recording process. Here is what i was thinking (and PLEASE tell me what your PERSONAL experience has been with your congfig):

I wanted to purchase a 1Tb seagate drive and use as my audio drive and keep the 300+ system drive in tact while dropping a 500 gig drive in the 3rd slot for samples while keeping my itunes and pictures on an external (FW800). Recently a suggested i make the 1Tb drive my boot drive, the 500 gb drive for my audio, and my 300 + for samples and pictures of brian eno, wait... what?

I know there are tons of options (and threads) regarding this very subject but, today, how are your machines working with your personal set ups whatever they may be.

Thank you so much for reading this novella, it is much appreciated.

Love,
SadPandas

I'm running a system that's very similar to what you propose initially.
i've got a large external drive for projects, two internal drives, one for BOOT and one for samples.
i also have a smaller firewire powered drive that i use for transfers and travel with my laptop. comes in handy.
this has been working like a charm for me.
i'm running DP6, Kontact 3, Reason, etc. from an 8 core intel machine. use it everyday in an intensive composing/producing environment. solid.
