What is a good fast drive for the 9500 thats not too expensive?
Yeah, PC or Mac doesn't matter. Harddisk Speedtools is the best 3d party utility if Apple's wont do it. Leaves a funky looking icon... but other than that its fantastic. If you have to buy a good drive for a 9500, get an ATA one. The card will run you about $70 (VST UltraTek/66 is awesome), then assume about $30/gig for the drive. It'll be about three to five times faster than any SCSI drive you get. Even if you get a $700 15krpm drive, itll be slower than an ATA.
