Digi specifically recommend NOT mixing different drive types, with audio files spread around the different drives.

Your SCSI drive should be able to play back more than 50 tracks of 44.1 or 48 if there's medium edit density.
A SATA drive (7200 RPM) should be able to give you 80+ tracks.
Even your FW400 drive should give 40+ tracks..... obviously this is subject to sample and bit rate, and also edit density.... but 34 tracks shouldn't be out of the realms of possibility just using the FW drive.
