I have 3 hard drives, the main one the OS is running off of, I don't use it for recording though. I have a SCSI 10,000rpm 20 gig that I'll use as well as a external 250 gig firewire drive (which I think is a 7,500rpm drive) I've tried multiple times importing a lot of tracks recorded else where to mix them down, and everytime, I've had to seperate the files up...its been a few months since I've done this sort of thing, and from what I've read, I should split the tracks up on the different harddrives (which i hadnt done) so i'll try that next time, but I have also read of other who have played a lot of tracks off one harddrive, so i dont know, it is a older G4 867mhz (NOT dual) and has 1.5 gigs of ram...for most my normal recording which consist of 20-40 tracks at 5-6 mins, I never have any problems, its only been when importing that amount of tracks and them being an 45-70 mins long...hope that explains things better
