| Best place to store samples on a 2 harddrive system? I've got a PC with 2 hard disk drives installed. I followed Digidesign's recommendation (for better or for worse) and configured it so one harddrive is dedicated to program/system files, and the other dedicated to audio files (i.e., session/song files). I've recently bought some sampler virtual instruments - Sampletank etc - which have large samples in wave file format. Just wondering whether I should load the VI's samples to the system drive or audio drive for best performance??

| I would use the system drive,as long as you have plenty of space. There really is no advantage one way or the other. But the drive you record your sessions to will fill up as you do more work. The system drive will not fill up as fast unless you are adding a lot of software. |

| Since I do rather frequent full backups of my system drive, I try to keep it lean (currently at 5GB). If I get a larger samples package, I'll put it on a different drive for that reason. Otherwise, I agree with nadmur and cabby. If this is an option, I'd suggest you create a partition for samples on your physical system drive. Cheers, Thomas |
