Re: [EXS] Disturbing test regarding EXS polyphony

2003-10-28 by Ned Bouhalassa

Murray,

I have read time and time again that it's really not a good idea or 
necessary to defragment drives when using OS X. As well, you should 
know that the factory drive that comes with G5s spins at 7200 rpm, so 
that's not the issue.

Thanks for your detailed info and tips!

Ned
