Local Disk or What?

Hey guys, I was just wondering what would be better to do?

A. Keep all your audio projects etc. on the Local Disk and run from there.

B. Put all your audio projects etc. on say the D: drive and run them from there.

Or is there any difference? I'm not talking about external drives, just wondering if maybe things will function faster in the Local C: drive? Or if that clutters things up with all the system files and it's better to keep on another drive?

Thanks,
Chris
 
It's better to record onto a separate drive. Having the same drive constantly writing/seeking can put a big bottleneck in hard drive performance.

This is usually only important when recording several simultaneous tracks or working on a big project with lots of tracks.

Regardless, if you can afford to do it this way you should.
 
Drive Setup for Audio -

Boot drive (C) OS and applications
Secondary drive (D) Audio recording and misc. data
Third Drive (E) Sample libraries if you use them.
