Is it conceivable that Catalyst could be configured for each layer to use a separate drive?Originally Posted by samsc
If you configured Catalyst to read each layer from a sep. drive you would need 4 times the storage space and have to maintain 4 copies of the same material. Sounds like a pain to me.
No.Originally Posted by tylerr
this just doesnt work - unfortunately. this part of the mac is not multithreaded - quicktime only does one thing at once.
and the slowest drive in the system drags performance down.
if you put content on an internal drive, and on a scsi drive at the same time.
the slowest drive will pull things down.
