Re: [microsound] Powerbook hard drive speed

[Alex Young <alex@xxxxxxx>]

I have an ibook, and I noticed the poor performance of the standard 
drive in
comparison to my other computers, but this only really became an issue 
for
me when I was trying to master stuff on it.

Disk speed is important but it depends on how you work.  Firewire drives
will perform better so you could always add one of those in the future.
