  Hard disk configuration

  Posted by Jonathan Shohet on July 11, 2007 at 8:31 am

  Hi
  I currently have windows installed on a 74GB 10K RPM Raptor, a 250GB disk for captures and another 250GB disk for documents\backups used as a scratch disk for all premiere previews, media cache ect.
  I’m reinstalling windows soon, and was wondering if I may get better performance if I install windows on one of the 250GB disks and use the Raptor as a scratch disk instead.
  Many thanks in advance.

  Better performance?? Are you having issues??
  Your setup should work fine with SD DV.

  No, I’m not having any issues, but I am working frequently with lots of layers , effects and high resolution targa sequences.
  I know that I’ll eventually need a fast raid setup but I can’t afford one right now.
  I was just wondering if the Raptor would be put to better use as a scratch disk instead of a system disk or not (74GB is too small to use as a capture disk), that’s all 🙂

  Don’t change anything. A Raptor filled with more than 50% of its capacity will be slower than a 250 GB drive filled to 30%.
