True, unless the dedicated drive is an external drive with a potential USB 
or FireWire bottleneck in comparison to the generally faster internal 
drives. With USB 2.0 and FireWire 800, this should be a non-issue.

>I'm not sure if using aliasses would introduce a performance hit

An interesting question. I wonder if one of the Mac-savvy power users might 
have a take on this.

Yes, this works fine. I do it because I prefer to have my instrument files 
and samples in the same directory for simpler file management.
