Hi all. Before I upgrade to SL I need help squeezing the best out of my 2008 MacPro Hard Drive setup (16gb RAM). I'm a motion graphics designer so everything working as smoothly as possible (with big quicktimes, psds etc) is essential!
I have 4 internal HDs. I'd really like to know if there is anything to be gained by moving the Home, Apps and OS to separate drives or what is the best combination between them for speed? My current setup is:
hd1 (500gb): OS and Apps
hd2 (1tb): Home folder, where all work is done/kept
hd3 (1tb): 2 partitions, 1 Time Machine, 1 OS/Apps backup
hd4 (500gb): renders and scratch
any advice would be greatly appreciated!
