[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 839582, member: 24160"] Would say he's got it pretty much right on as relates to getting the best speed out of a system. What he says holds true regardless of which OS you may be using. This paragraph is key: The only real portion I would disagree with is where he notes that partitioning your internal drive is a half-way solution. I'd say it's not even a quarter-way solution. Your drive fails, you lose both partitions, so no help there. At any time the system needs to access both partitions, you have also lost all the speed gains which his entire article is geared toward. To do what he is talking about, you need the separate drives. If you're not going to take the advice on the separate drives, looks like he does have some very good info on trimming your system install down and for tweaking Photoshop. This guy is attempting to get the last ounce of speed out of his system (and sparing no expense). I'm also not a Photoshop user. I've read many, many posts by those that do about using a separate scratch "disk" and I can see the advantage there. [/QUOTE]
