[Shifted Music]

I use a raptor (4 years old) only 80 gigs... for my audio drive.

Love it... Never a problem. Playsback FAST. start and stop are VERY fast.

For my sample library I use a Glyph external FW 800. Plenty fast enough for me it seems.

If I had internal room. I would have raptors for operating system, sample library and audio drive.

But in order of importance I would go Audio drive First... then tied for second operating system and samples.

If you already have a couple raptor then I assume you are using one for audio drive and one for operating syatem already... so its only the expense of one drive.

I say go for it.

BUT if saving money is important than a 7200 rpm drive will be GREAT for a sample library...

Especially if all 3 drive are used for different purposes like I use them.
