 |
|
Hi,
I have a new mac pro with 4 int hard drives (the original boot drive and 3 x 1TB int hard drives).
How should I configure the the drives for photoshop scratch disk?
I intend to have the three int hard drives as a single striped RAID for all my data storage. Can I use the data storage RAID as the scratch disk or is it bad practice to have thesame disks that I'm storing files on as the scratch disk?
Should I have a dedicated internal disk as a scratch disk?
Or, will an external HD connected via a eSATA port be adequate for a scratch disk?
Thanks.

A three drive striped raid would be ideal as your scratch disk.
It doesn't matter that you store your data on their too. Photoshop doesn't need a scratch disk when it's loading or saving unless of course you are working with huge files.
As long as you are not using your boot drive as the scratch you'll be fine.
