Virtual Instruments 2 Harddrives

[speedtalk]

I will be having a friend help me build a computer for recording. Is it a good idea to have the virtual instruments on a seperate hard drive? Also any recommendations for good moderatly priced hard drives?

its recommended keeping virtual instrument contents on a local hard drive because you can introduce buffering issues.

WD raptors have done well in performance ever since they've entered the market

i use seagate drives here... you may want to consider 3 drives... system/libraries/recording...
