Daniel: "I plan to buy a (much) larger drive in the future.... using at
least 5 partitions."
Do you think from a speed standpoint that partitions would matter? In other
words, a one partition system would be significantly faster than a
multi-partition system? Or vice versa?
I've been waiting for the new Quantum Atlas 10K II, with its 8 meg
buffer --- due out in April
(http://www.quantum.com/products/hdd/atlas_10kii/atlas_10kii_overview.htm).
I then want to build a new system around that new drive, preferably buying a
mother board that supports the Ultra160 SCSI, but if no great mother board
is available, then using one of Adaptec's cards
(http://www.targetpages.com/adaptec/gotscsi/index.html?src=16&sess=GS3895093
8ef461). I'd go with a PIII as fast as I can afford, full of memory. I'm
hoping that this will speed up the MS explorations, and symbol switching
through multi-page layouts.
What are you looking at?
