We're putting together a new computer just for recording; it's going to be a 1.5ghz with about a gig of ram. The thing we're wondering about is hardrives. I've heard that for the primary drive (that holds the virtual ram), that it slows down somewhat the bigger the harddrive is. Say if you have a 7200 30 gig hardrive and a 7200 60 gig, the 30 gig will perform faster.
We were wanting to get 2 harddrives, one for mainly the recording on, and a second one for making backups on mainly. Which one should be the bigger? Or should there be a bigger? Should the main harddrive be like a 60, and the backup a 40, or maybe the primary a 40, and the backup a 60?
BTW, any other tips for building-system-just-for-recording would be appreciated. Thanks!
