AuthorTopic: New hard drive makes a difference

I juts put a new maxtor DiamondMax drive on as D:

It's really made a difference to performance.

I ran a 24 audio track piece that always crashed, even before mastering, 'cos it's got 2 reverbs and bags of eq and things.

On playback the cpu was far more comfortable.

With the new drive I was able to get the mastering done as well, and I hadn't altered the swap file or anything.

It seems that new drive = more cpu

I didn't know this until tonight

The old one was a 5000 rpm disk. It's still on as drive c:

The new one is a 7,500 rpm non-scsi fairly cheap av 60gb drive, not a top flight whizzo fry-an-egg on it job.

It installed easily and worked 1st time. It's like having extra cpu.

thats why...

you went from 5000rpms to 7200rpms. the seek time is much better on any 7200rpm hard drive.

its ALWAYS a must to buy a 7200rpm hard drive..nothing slower...that is unless you have money to buy a Baracuda which is like 12000rpms or something...its insane!!

So what if I "upgrade" from 7200 to the next level (10000 or so?)?

Will it be worth the money?
Will it feels like more speed too?

Is there anybody who did that change?
