I would ONLY be looking at i7 950 and up cpu's and a socket 1366 X58 mobo for best performance. If you ever DO use RR, be very careful about backing up your session properly as you will have audio files on 2 drives  (I have enough trouble keeping track of everything on 1 drive  ). BTW, your best performance will be on SATA internal drives(eSATA SHOULD perform the same, and both are mush faster than any FW or USB drives). |
Pretty much agree with Allbee. Round Robin would have been far more necessary back when HDD were much slower than they are now. There was a time when SCSI was needed just to gain the maximum track counts.
Now if you were mixing a motion picture than RR might be a concern.
