Default Re: Attention all Hard Drive experts....

Thanks Shifted Music....

So, just so I'm clear - you're saying I should have one drive for audio (do you mean to record to, or to store audio files like loops etc to be laid out in their own tracks?), and a second dedicated drive to house all sample-based virtual instruments (eg: Spectrasonics, Kontakt, East West Quantum Leap etc)?

If I understood you correctly, the ideal Hard Drive allocation should perhapse be 4 drives, allocated to the following:

Drive 1 = OS
Drive 2 = Pro Tools (and any other music-related software)
Drive 3 = Sample Libraries (sample-based VI's)
Drive 4 = Audio

....and maybe even:

Drive 5 = Windows PageFile


What do you think?
