seek time of 11 ms of the hard disk
does anybody knows if it is a problem to use a hard disk for recording with a seek time of 11 ms?
it's a Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 SATA 160 Gb 7200rpm 8Mb buffer size the vendor said it would be no problem, but I'm not very sure Thanks a lot |

Re: seek time of 11 ms of the hard disk
Digi recommends 10ms minimum. It may mean you cannot play or record 32 mono tracks at once.

The Hitachi deskstar drives have been good to me...

Re: seek time of 11 ms of the hard disk
Check the Seagate website with your drives model number. I just looked about a week ago and it looked like all of the 160GB SATA drives had a 8.5ms seek time

That's what I just bought as my 2nd internal drive...
