hi all,
essentially i am concerned on how to set up my mac pros drives for best osx use, and atm i am waiting for answers before getting a new (either 750 or 1000gig drive). at the moment i have a 750gig drive that is sounding a little dodgy of late, and the stock 320 gig drive which is very slow, and currently being used to boot osx
Essentially my options are thus:
1. buy a 750 gig spinpoint to use as my boot drive, then use the other 750 as a time machine drive and the 320 as a bootcamp drive
2. buy a 100 gig spinpoint to use as my boot drive, then as above
but i am concerned about:
1. would time machine work well if the drive its on is smaller than the drive it is trying to copy?
2. if i went with the 1000gig option, would it be wise to partition the drive so that osx/apps and files were seperate? And furthermore, if i did partition the drive, could i still use the music/documents/movies etc tabs on the left of the finder, and if so how could i do this?
thanks in advance for any advice that you guys can offer
