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

You should be able to speed the process up by using the Migration Assistant to transfer your applications and settings from your original System disc to your new one.

I was wondering if that would work but thought the system disc would only work on the stock drive for some reason.

The drive is still $97.00 and think right now I should get the drive and purchse the memory next. Trying to move away from the firebox and into the motu pcie hd I/o. The firebox seems to be losing signal intermitently. Same "work around" as other folks have noted.

You could also use something like carbon copy cloner (CCC) to create a bootable copy of your existing system drive onto the new one. Have done this before and it worked but the most recent one I tried had a couple of niggles with fonts am going to try again but zeroing the new drive first. If you use CCC then you can just set it to go and leave it, no need to sit there through loads of install disks!

Migration assistant is a good option too.
