HELLO GUYS,
I hvae a G4/800/ 80 Gig w/ 17in. flat screen ,Fire Wire 400.
I recently bought a160G Mercury(OWC) hard drive and would like to know how to get the best performance from it.
1.Do I keep my audio software on the internal drive and save to the external drive?
2. Is there some optimization software to use so that my disks won't get fragmented?
I am using DP4.5 also recently aquired.
Any suggestiosn please?

There are basically ( i.e. at least ) two ways to defrag audio-files harddrive under OS-X.
1)
Buy TechTool 4.0.x it both rebuilds folder structure and optimizes files.
2)
Use a spare external harddrive doesnt need to as speedy as your original
audio harddrive you use for recording.
When the audio drive seems fragmented simply copy all audio to the spare drive.
Format the audio-drive and copy all audio back to it.
Your done.
