Everything on one drive.  The original drive is in there, and I Clone to it every time there is a major system update.  So, it is there mainly as a backup.  I can't even remember what it is.

How does that help?  I mean, I only use one at a time.

Well, also, there are two outboard FW drives.  The yare older and slower.  80 G Maxtors, I think.  Would that slow things down?  I can't see how, but maybe I do not understand.

Thanks,
