Is a SATA2 HD a good solution for creamware users (as for the use of the pci bandwidth)? I ahve a Asus P4G8X dual DDRAM and i would like to purchase a STA HD too as it is faster. But what are the drawbacks of such solutions?

Thanks.

Jo

one thing is very important is the buffer size of HD. this one is 16MB and its awesome

and i think its perfect for playing a sampler with huge data or ppl who are working with 24/96.

One question: i'd to perform quick format because of time. hope its not gonna make problems in future. and finally change my mind and did 3 partitions.
Thanks

for this purpose quick format is fine.

3 partitions is a good idea.

Yeh, good choice. Three IS the magic number after all...

only after coming to 2 and before 4.
5 is right out.
3 is the number and thy counting shall be 3.
