Wise or unwise, that's what I do (on a separate partition), and I run 
a $#!+load of voices - like over 200, although they're not all 
streaming. On one cue I have 16 soft samplers - EXS24s, Halions, and 
Soft SampleCells - playing at least 25 different programs...plus an 
Access Virus TDM and an EVP88. The computer is perfectly happy with 
that. Maybe the large orchestral libraries will break the camel's 
back when they come out in EXS format, but for mortal libraries it 
works fine.

Chances are the performance would be better with the samples on a 
dedicated SCSI drive, but I couldn't be bothered.
