[QUOTE="Dizzyrocks2001, post: 1661898, member: 354276"] Thanks for your response Rod :) Yes, you are correct, both SSD and HDD volumes are separate as if they were two partitions. Unfortunately placing my media on an external drive isn't really a path I'd like to go down and would sort of defeat the purpose of me having the Data Doubler setup - I like having everything contained within my MacBook. I use my MacBook for DJing and using an external drive to store my music puts one more thing in the chain that could go wrong. By the way, as a workaround I turn off Spotlight on my HDD media drive and use an app called "Find Any File" when I need to search on that drive. By the way, the SSD is 250GB and the HDD is 1TB, and I'm running OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. I didn't use any configuration when setting it up - I simply put the OS and all the apps on the SSD, and all my media on the HDD. One reason I used this configuration is so that my apps would run smoothly (including my DJ software) and my music and media files (which aren't accessed as much and don't really need the speed of an SSD) would remain separate and in one place. I have heard of RAID configurations but I'm not familiar with SPAN. I will do some research on SPAN (thanks for pointing me in the right direction) and see if it's a viable option. Thanks man :) [/QUOTE]
