Please expand on  this a little.  I'm wondering  about the placement  of
download files and boot OS and digitizing  app. I have  4  drives in my
8500. two on the  native  SCSI  fast bus and  two on  a PCI ATA card. The
tow  on  the scsi are  4.3 gig 7200 rpm Fujitsus and the two IDE's are a 27
gig and  a 40 gig. The  IDe's show a throughput of  about 9.5 and the
scsi's about  7. Would it  be best to boot  off one of the scsi's and run
Strata off one  of the IDE's and  store the files on  the other IDE with no
apps on it?
