Re: [L-OT] Re: Urgent Help regarding new HD

Don't know the exact answer, but here I have a 250 GB Seagate for  
recording and 3 750 GB Seagate drives, 2 of which are used as a  
software RAID for samples/libraries and the third one serves as a  
bootup drive. All I can say, this is the best setup I could achieve in  
1 and a half months of constantly tweaking my machine.

Best,

Andy
