I just bought a LaCie d2 FW external drive with 200GB. I want to use this strictly for recording. Should I partition the drive? How would you recommend that I do so. I was thinking that I could have 4 partitions of 50 GB each (recording, editing, mixing, mastering). However, is that practical? Should I just leave it alone and make 4 separate folders resting in the one big hard drive? Also, I have all my music related apps (protools, ableton, etc.) on my internal drive. Should I put this on the external drive as well or leave them be?
Thanks |

You can make for example 2 partitions, one for work, the other (the slowest) as backup, it'll help you also for the fastest method to defrag: fomat the partition.
You can also add a little partition (a few gigs) with a system to boot/repair in case. Now leave yours apps where they are. It's the files you work on that matters. Next, remember, RAM is your friend
