Re: I disagree

I can see your point... if the disc dies, then the data dies with it. But allowing for the main data being backed up as a matter of precaution, having the OS as a seperate entity does mean that a system rebuild can be done alot easier.
Since a component on my OS went astray warranting a full refomatting of the drive, the whole system is running so much faster. I suppose over time with fragmented files etc and registy entries that arent the full shilling the OS can benefit from a regular spring clean/rebuild. If it is seperate from all your main files and folders then this does make life easier.
I think that was possible the point that he was trying to make....

But having the music library on its own drive does, as you say, allow you to plug in to another machine. Thats the bit I like, I can stroll about with it under me arm... and plug in elsewhere.
I have wondered if having a seperate music drive, unfragmented, makes the playing of the music a lesser load on the machine. Less searching by the heads I suppose... but I'm no 'puter guru. I know its alot happier when I use a seperate drive for photoshop to work onto, so I assume similar now with other processes.

Enjoy,

K
