Subject:RE: On which drive do You Stick your loops? Reply by: Iacobus Date:2/12/2004 12:24:31 PM As DKeenum mentioned, you'll want to keep apps on one drive and media on another. Preferably, you'll want your system drive (C:) as primary master on the primary IDE channel while keeping your media drive as secondary master or slave on the secondary IDE channel. (If you're using Serial ATA, this is all a moot point.) Don't worry too much if there's a CD-RW or other slower device on the secondary IDE channel along with the media drive; systems are sophisticated enough nowadays to give drives their full potential whether or not they're daisy-chained together. If you're the type that records custom material with ACID projects, you might want to keep everything centralized in a folder on a project-by-project basis.
