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 need to have (usually. You can do otherwise but don't try this at home) the system and the apps on the same drive.

Now all sound/sample banks can (and should) be on another drive. Ways to move/install the banks elsewhere differ depending on the software. Depending on your use of them, they can be on the system or the project drive or on their own.

And all projects MUST be on a different drive than the system drive. (you can, but the wall is near, lurking)
