FWIW, I've used the good old C-drive on a recording laptop DAW since I bought it over 3 years ago. No other choice than to use the same drive. My track counts have to stay a little lower on that machine, but doesn't change the fact that it's how most laptop recordists have to do their work.



And -- it works!

The only times I've needed an outrigger drive on my recording laptop are when I'm using more than 8 input channels at once on the 1616M. Then I hook up a firewire drive and set the recording host's Temp stream to the first logical partition of that drive.

For me working alone, I have found that a regular two-input soundcard does the job with the internal hard drive just fine. And the internal drive is a 5400rpm 8mb cache, at that. WinXP SP3 and plenty of ram (1gb at the moment, used to be 2g, pulled 'em for use in another lappy and found little if any noted difference).
