Re: Partition size for new drive and other disk defrag options
I actually would not put multiple partition on my audio drive. I would make folders specific for the session. De-fragmentation pretty much put the data that relates to each other close to each other because the hard drive will "spit" out the data which can be spreaded on different part of the disk or different platters. Defragging the drive will reorganize all the data to be next to each other for better performance. I will usually defrag my drive once a week if I am using it heavy. Honestly, make sure you have a good hard drive as well. Check out the Western Digital Caviar Black. Those have very good performance for the price. I would not use RAID for my audio drive, unless it was maybe RAID 0 (which isn't really RAID, but uses two or more disk for better performance).
