So looks like I am swiming in a sea of PC users here. But hopefully this dosent have to do with OSX.
I have a new Mac Pro with the quad 2.66 Xeons. It has a stock 250gig 7200RPM drive via serial ATA.
I just reciently bought a 76 gig raptor 16meg cache to add to my system. Now this is my question.
What is the most effecient setup for a 250 gig drive and a 76 gig high speed hard drive? Should I use the 76gig as a scratch disk? (I would sum up my work as a creative professional, aka photoshop, final cut pro, etc...) Or should I use it as a boot disk with my OS and applications and use the 250 gig drive as a storage drive?
I have tried both configs and when the raptor is the boot drive it seems to boot up slower?!? then my 7200 rpm drive. My friend said it is because 10K drives spin up slower but then are faster once started.
Could someone please shine a light on the "correct" way to go about this
