I run PS CS 2 on a PC laptop w/2 internal drives in a RAID 0 configuration.
I can only use the "C" drive for my scratch drive and I've never had any
trouble - system is Win XP Sp 2, 2 gigs of RAM, 2 - 80 gig 7200 rpm drives
in RAID 0.

 

And I run PS CS 2 on a dual 2.7 GHz G5 w/2 internal SATA drives and 2
external SATA drives in a Firmtek enclosure. OS 10.4.9, 6.5 gigs of RAM. On
this machine I have my Apps and OS on one 300 gig drive, my Docs on another
300 gig drive, my 2 backups on an external 250 gig SATA drive and Scratch is
a dedicated 150 gig drive. Again, no problems with this setup either,
although I just acquired the 2nd 300 gig Seagate drive and I'm thinking of
doing a raid on the Mac.

Thanks for the ideas - from straightforward to complex. Now does anyone 
have a good idea on how to handle the scratch files for best 
performance? Adobe allows for four and they can be put on any drive. Is 
there a need for more than one? And what about Windows' swap file? 
Should that be on a drive without scratch files?
