Hello,

I'm new to this forum, and new to mac audio (but have been working on experimental electronic projects, in windows midi and cv / din-synch, for 7+ years).

I have yet to purchase my new studio heart, which I plan to be a g4 867 with 1ghz ram, but whilst thinking things over today, I began to wonder if I should invest in a decent firewire HD for recording purposes. The obvious answer is yes, at least if I wish to keep a non-fragmented drive together, but I'm at a loss for the logistics for keeping an external setup optimum.

Basically, I understand the concept of recording my raw, real world data to the HD.. but is their any harm to then resaving the resulting files (cropped and effexed) to the TiBook's HD for storage? Or would a better solution be to keep all the audio on the external drive, never allowing the primary drive to be cluttered by samples? I realise I can make either option work, especially in OS X, but what is the ideal? btw- I do intend to be OS X / audio only with the g4 (i have a pc for everything else).

Secondly, on other forums i've seen people speak out against the idea of partitioning os x...
( for example: http://www.macattorney.com/tutorial.html#Anchor-32647 ). Of course though, these sites are not geared towards audio production / studio enviroments. With the information against partitioning in mind, should I go ahead and do it anyhow? I plan to have a 40 gig internal HD, how much should I allocate to os x?

Thanks in advance.. I apologize for the fact my questions are similar to a few that already have dedicated threads, but I wanted to highlight some specific issues that wouldn't fit in other discussions.
