Re: Hard drive optimization

Howard,
oops.. sorry. I'm running Win2000, so I'm formatting to NTFS (is that 
the right acronym? can't remember..) seems you can select size of 
file clusters when formatting, umm can't remember size options. From 
your suggestion, I assume smaller clusters are better for audio?
Thanks,
Ed
