Audio Drive Settings: Recyle Bin, Restore, etc.

[Remon]

For your Audio drive, do you turn these features off or leave on.

Recycle Bin
System Restore
Norton Protection (if you have it)
Indexing service

I turn them off, thinking I want the entire disk to be dedicated purely to audio, and nothing else to interfere, that the features might decrease performance. If I turn on anything it might be recylce bin only, maybe, but I'm pretty cautious when deleting files. What is your preference, what has been your experience on this?

Also, do you keep any additional partitions on your audio drive or just one primary partition. I'm using one partition (main partition) based on the same thought as above.

Finally, does it make any performance or other difference if you store your session files on a drive separate from your audio drive? If it's better to do this, does this drive where sessions are stored need to be 32k allocation as well?

Thanks

So nobody has experience with this? or is it that this topic has been posted too many times in the past? Any thoughts at all?

Off

One partition for me, would go with 2 but I use the system drive for archiving sessions.
