I just bought a LaCie d2 FW external drive with 200GB. I want to use this strictly for recording. Should I partition the drive? How would you recommend that I do so. I was thinking that I could have 4 partitions of 50 GB each (recording, editing, mixing, mastering). However, is that practical? Should I just leave it alone and make 4 separate folders resting in the one big hard drive? Also, I have all my music related apps (protools, ableton, etc.) on my internal drive. Should I put this on the external drive as well or leave them be?
Thanks |

If you do decide to partition the drive just make sure the recording partition is the first partition cause as someone pointed out in another thread this part of the drive spins fastest and has quicker access times.
