hi there
my current situation is that i have 2 hard drives, one 80gig and one 4gig. i only ever really use the 80gig one as it can store many more things on it. the thing is, because i am only using the one drive, audio is beginning to click, pop etc. i understand it is better to have two hard drives, one for all the OS, software im using (cubase) and all the plugins etc, and then another one for audio. the thing is, there are so many specs to look out for (which i have gathered from reading threads) i just dont know where to start!
*would it be better to buy a new hard drive for audio and keep my 80gig for the OS etc, or buy a new hard drive for OS and use my current 80gig for audio?*
which ever of the above you guys think, can you give me a few models that i can check out? i really have no idea where to start. people have mentioned sustained throughput, interface speed, oi dont even know what these things mean!! the cache memory and seek time i understand though.
so yeh if anybody has any reccomendations of hard drives id be highly grateful. thanks a bunch.
