recording to multiple hard drives

[Nhyarlathotep]

Hi, I know its a long shot but I need to ask.I had a session recording drums at 88.2khz 24bit.After several takes cubase had a hard time playing back audio and recording at the same time.I checked by pressing f12 -i think- and there were a lot of spikes concerning my hard drive.I have 5 different hds installed.is it possible for cubase to record and playback audio to and from different hds at the same time?
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
ps don't start with why recording at 88.2 and all that.it's along talk

Do you have a large enough power supply? 5 hard drives will take a bit of current.

Is your project file (audio) recording to a separate HDD than your OS? That it what you should be doing.

And to end; I am ready to hear the 88.2 story.

yes I have the power needed.the drives are installed for quite some time.
the os is installed in different drive.the project was a big one with 14 tracks recorded at the same time and involving many takes.the thing is that muted tracks (previous takes) are still being read by the hd drive in order to be played the time someone unmutes them.
the story about 88.2?I would have liked to say that since I can why not but I can't (well at least to the degree I want), but I can detect a difference especially in the high end (hm psycoacoustics in play?who knows...).
well, I read a post that :"You can start a new project, add 24 (36/128/whatever) tracks, then select some tracks before you've recorded anything and right click to get "save to folder" options. I've created a 128 track session and sent 32 tracks to four different drives before pressing "record" to track anything... " for nuendo.Can that be done in cubase?

14 tracks? That should not be near enough to cause any issue, depending on your system, and what is running on it. So....

What is your system setup as far as your computer? Have you optimized it for audio performance?

well the thing is I record 14 tracks but there are other 42 already recorded muted tracks in the session (plus guitars and orchestra instruments that are needed for playback) and when I hit rec the playback delays so much - although the drummer in the booth can hear the metrononome - and the sound comes and goes because there are so much data that the hard drive must read. I have no prob in 44.1 but at 88.2 rate the files are just too big.I know that I can always buy a ssd driver but if I could write to different hds it would be great.The asio is not a problem my soundcard is rme HDSP AES-32
and the tascam dm4800 is the master.
