I plan on buying one of the new Seagate NL35 hard drives for my PowerMac G5. The model I want is a 250GB, SATA, 16MB Cache. Here are a few questions.
1) Which hard drive should I make my main hard drive? The 160GB stock or the 250GB Seagate.
2) I should load my programs, samples, and other instruments onto my main hard drive, and use the second hard drive as purely recording space?
3) Is it okay to put other files on my recording drive? I have an extensive music library and was curious which drive would be best to put that library on.
4) My last question pertains to my current external hard drive. I have an external enclosure with the Oxford 922 chip via FW800. The drive itself is a Seagate 160GB, ATA100, 8MB Cache drive. Whenever I run Logic and start recording, there is up to a 5 second delay from when I click the record button to when the program recognizes that it is going to record. It is a little tedious but records flawlessly after that little delay. What could be some problems that I should look into? Thanks!

Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0Ghz Rev. C, 2.5GB ram, 160GB External HD via FW800, FireBox, Logic Pro 7.1.1.

I do the best I can, if I was a logic/cubase/DP/PT/GB guru too, it'd be way better too (but fortunately, we have GREAT members)  The only place is in the energy saving system preferences, under "suspend" you have a checkbox to suspend HDs. There was also something in the options when you format in the apple disk utility but I can't check back if it's there (in my case it'd be a good way to lost data…  I don't know if it's still around. About the options accessible thru jumpers on the drive, usually, they don't work on mac (save size limits), but you can always try! I know some members are having a hard time in order to stop HD to go to sleep on some model, but that's the only solution we have at the moment.
