Re: [L-OT] Internal/External Hard Drive Q's

2004-12-29 by derby touchsamadhi

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.

Everything I know results in one mentality and that is that I know nothing.
