Been doing some house keeping. C' drive, primary audio drive and a 'primary/active b-up drive.. plus another drive (or 'drives- more the archives' or archive to be..
What do you use for swapping in and out'?
Previous DAWs I was doing IDE drives in pull-out caddies thing.
Now all SATA, I've just been leaving the damn side cover off, the two primaries' sitting in their metal slots.. and two b/u's sitting in the bottom of the box
#2-- While I work out what and if to do on that end.. Don't want or need at least one of those drives running for day to day stuff..
Is it ok, 'safe? to have a SATA cable connected to the board, but disconnected at the drive end? (I'd pull the power on the drive as well of course)
