[L-OT] What drive do samples go on?

2004-02-29 by amgshaffer

At the moment, I am using Phatmatik Pro and Native Instruments Battery 
and will soon be using EXSP24 (I am also considering some of the 
Spectrasonics products).  This raises the issue as to where samples 
should be stored.  The choices are (1) audio drive, (2) 
applications/boot drive, or (3) dedicated sample drive.

At the moment, I have my samples stored on my audio drive.  Is this the 
best location or is another drive better?.  What effect do these options 
have on the computer's resources (CPU and streaming from disk).  Thank you!

Kind regards,
Dave
