It's IMO useful to separate drives regarding to convenience, but not regarding to performance. I might be mistaken, but I can't see a reason for a reasonably machine to use 3 HDDs for audio production, to get a better performance. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
