Hi all
I just bought a new Seagate Baracuda IV 40GB.
I will use it for Audio only - swapping drives, when I need to do else things (untill I got parts for 2 PCs).

So this will be Pulsar1 and Logic gold running on a 98se based setup. But what clustersize to choose? I only record 1 or 2 tracks a time, but play-back adds up to more.

Should I stick to the default 4KB cluster size, or should I lower to 512B or raise to 32KB?

If you would explain your choise, I would be very happy.

Immanuel
