In my experience, from a non-MAC perspective. Partitioning a hard drive for audio makes zero sense. It makes no sense because you are using one physical drive and telling it to be 3 or more places across the spindle at any one time. Why not have 3 seperate drives for each task? If you are using a desktop, I would use one seperate (~20GB) drive for programs like logic, OSX and such. Then use a different drive ( and possibly a seperate ATA/SCSI controller channel) for Samples and recording. This seperate drive would be your external firewire/usb2 drive on a laptop. You can also use the external firewire/usb2 drive for audio samples and recording on a desktop if needed for extra space and mobility. You can use as many external drives as you need as long as your system doesn't skip during audio playback and recording. This is based on system configuration and hardware specs. Paritioning a hard drive made sense a whlie ago when drives were expensive, or you need to dual boot too support 2 OSes. > If anyone can help me with a few Hard Drive Q's.... > -- peace. derby Everything I know results in one mentality and that is that I know nothing. derby@... derby604@...
