Hello friends... So, after being a total ass and using my system drive to record audio on for the last couple of months i have decided to get the most out of my machine and my recording process. Here is what i was thinking (and PLEASE tell me what your PERSONAL experience has been with your congfig):
I wanted to purchase a 1Tb seagate drive and use as my audio drive and keep the 300+ system drive in tact while dropping a 500 gig drive in the 3rd slot for samples while keeping my itunes and pictures on an external (FW800). Recently a suggested i make the 1Tb drive my boot drive, the 500 gb drive for my audio, and my 300 + for samples and pictures of brian eno, wait... what?
I know there are tons of options (and threads) regarding this very subject but, today, how are your machines working with your personal set ups whatever they may be.
Thank you so much for reading this novella, it is much appreciated.
Love,
SadPandas

QUOTE Now, if i could just find an easy way of making my new 1TB drive the boot drive without having to reinstall leopard and all of the programs that i have on my original drive. Try the Migration Assistant utility that comes with OS X. I've used it for moving from an old Mac to a new Mac several times. Another option is to use Time Machine to back up the original drive and then (I'm pretty sure) you can tell Migration Assistant to do a full "restore" (in quotes because, you know, it's not really a restore in this case) to the new drive from the Time Machine backup. Sorry I'm fuzzy on the details; it's been a year since I swapped my MacBook's factory internal drive out for a 200GB....
