So, I will have a total of four external drives, to internal encased. I would like to have my master internal drive to be used for software only so things run faster. How would you set this up?
1. Working/scratch (80 gb; 2004)
2. Working/scratch (30 gb; 2002)
3. Storage (250 gb; new)
4. Backup (500gb; new)Moreover, I am currently Windoze-based.
Any help or linkies would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
J

not quite sure what you're asking, but you wold set one of the internal drives as the master, and the other as a slave. the externals would be either fireWire or USB correct? turned on only when you need them.
