If not, the stock drive that shipped with my G4 (Digital Audio, 7200 rpm IBM drive) over 1.5 years ago is much faster than the Maxtor 7200 80 gig drive I added earlier this summer. (Note: I tested the two using FWB in OS 9.) Comments are vigorously encouraged! > But now is the time to think about a good partitioning scheme for your > uses. Well, yeah, that's the point of my query in the first place. I basically set up my machine to run OS 9 on one partition, a second documents partition, and another partition for X (this goes back to Public Beta, so X was more a novelty than my workhorse OS). Now, though, I want two drives, period: master and slave. X will reside on the master drive, and I'll keep 9, my swap file, my photoshop scratch disk, my DV files on the slave, and plenty of backup space on the slave. I don't want X on the slave, but only because I thought the slave would lag behind the master in terms of performance.
