My newest system has a triplecore processor (saves a LOT of energy over comparable quad core), 6 hard drives and 4 gig RAM ... and works great for the intended purpose. Two of the drives hold backed up projects (paid) and personal projects from the past.. so that data is pretty safe. The other 4 drives hold: 1.OS & programs, 2.temp recording folder (for writing new incoming audio tracks), 3.current project saves, and 4.main OS drive backups for multiple systems.
Never too much storage!
I just ordered a USB DVD burner so I don't have to put another drive inside. I have the room and connections but worry it may mess with the SATA buss the other drives are playing very nicely on currently.
OK, maybe I overthink this stuff. But it sure runs reliably.


Wow!!

Okay, what I'm gonna get next is the 2GB RAM stick and an external hard drive. I think that should suffice but if it doesn't then I'll just revert back to the old way of recording for a year or two. I did recently upgrade my computer speakers from real cheapos (as you can hear on the recording below) to fairly good ones (Altec Lancing, with built-in sub-woofers, courtesy of eBay) and the bass is much, much better.
