lets not forget the other issue with hard drives: massively reduced performance caused by exposure to excessively loud audio. this is well documented. if you play live (or even in a studio) make sure that the disk drive(s) are well isolated from extremely loud sounds. the read/write failure rate goes up dramatically and the effective streaming rate of the driver suffers. it can be enough to just put the disk into a drawer. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
