You mentioned only being able to do about 22 tracks then the harddrive gets overloaded. You also mentioned that this drive was your only drive. It is recommended that you use a 2nd hard drive to put the actual audio on (wav files) and then your main hard-drive to put the program files on. Each of the drives will not have to work as hard, and you should be able to get over 22 tracks, as long as ram and cpu aren't holding you back.

I can run 32 tracks, half of them stereo tracks, from a good old Western Digital parallel IDE (8MB buffer) without ever exceeding 25% disk usage. Having 2 drives as described above is KEY! Also, I think the drive's buffer size is probably more important than the type of interface.
