Digital BW, The Print

Richard,

Amadou, mean's a seperate disk, not partition.....
I am sure at 3.9Gb you mean partition or volume not disk.

The suggestion of seperate disk is because you can read from one while you
are writing to the other.
But this requires a truely seperate disk...

This is the Adobe wisdom, however from my tests on PC I am not yet convinced
this is the right approach.
For a given $ spend I actually think its better to invest in the best Raid0
performance you can afford.
Still testing.

Mike
