You should set up the 160 GB IDE drive as your system drive and the Raptor as your audio drive. The Raptor is a 10k rpm drive. You should use your fastest drive for audio. The 160 drive is probably also SATA if it came from Apple, but it is 7200 rpm at the most.

Re: what\'s the best way to set up my G5 Hard drive
Are you sure it's an IDE drive? You have to modify the G5 to get an IDE (PATA) drive into it, by hijacking either the slower ATA-100 bus used by the CD/DVD drive or by using a PATA/SATA converter. Both of those mods are a very bad idea for an audio system.
I would go with Kcurry's suggestion if the 76 gig Raptor SATA drive is going to be big enough for your audio. You can always use the 160 gig as a backup as well as for your system drive. Alternatively, drop another SATA drive in there. You can get a 200 gig Seagate 7200 rpm SATA drive for $110. |
