Which HDD should be the fast one?
Hi folks,
I plan to buy a new HDD for my laptop. I have two already, both to slow. Which one should be the faster one? The system drive or the audio drive? If both should be a 7200 rpm HDD can I use only one physical HDD and use different "virtuel" disc for system and audio, or is it better to have two physical HDDs?

Re: Which HDD should be the fast one?
The audio drive needs to spin at 7200rpm. You don't need to replace a drive in your laptop, though (I would imagine that would be expensive). All you need is an external firewire drive.

The only reason for me to replace one HDD is to stay flexible for transport. I am a little bit lacy
