Hello,

I recently bought a new HDD for both added capacity and added speed for my computer. My original HDD was a 7200RPM drive with a 2mb cache. The new drive is 7200RPM with an 8mb cache. My question is whether I should set up my computer to capture to the drive with a larger cache or is it better to have the operating system run with the larger cache. My question is specifically geared to firewire video capture. I am aware that obvioulsy the operating system would work faster if it was on the 8mb cache but I am happy enough with the current speed and really just want to optimize to make capture and smooth as possible. Thanks very much!

If you want to make capture as smooth as possible, you should go with the 8MB drive.

I am a bit confused by your reply. I will be using both drives... One for the OS and one to capture to. When you say go with the 8mb do you mean use it as the HDD for the OS or the "capture to" drive? Thanks again!

Reckon he meant for capture

Yes, I did. I should have been more clear in my reply.
