Why raid? How many actual disks?
The science is telling us smaller disks are better for quick saving/retrieving.
My music computer has a 500gb disk. Got about 200 "current" projects ranging from a few midi tracks to dozens of audio tracks, 1/2 mb to 18 gb.
As projects are finished they are "archived" to external disks, and removed from audio data disk.
3 physical disks in the machine:
OS disk 500gb ( 4 partitions: w7 32, w7 64, w8 64, storage: misc files of programs, transfer,....)
Samples Disk 300gb
Audio Data disk 500gb
2 external disks: 2 terabyte, and 1 terabyte. [ Amazing: 1 trillion bytes, 8 trillion bits!!!! ]
I have a 4 megabyte disk on the shelf from my first computer.
