Hard drive question

This is my MP, and I purchased it with an AMD 5770 1GB already in it. I still get choppy graphics using cubase… Maybe it needs to be dusted off real good. the general guts of my MP were a hazy grey from the last year of ownership.

I guess I can’t really complaoin about the startup time of Cubase, since that is hosted on the SSD, and it takes maybe 2 minutes to load a project file (outright massive project file, at that) (…only takes me 5-10 seconds to save typically)


Should i step up to a higher spindle rating then? faster than 7200 rpm. I may try that. 1TB drive(10/15k) for working projects, and then 2 2TB drives for all of my general data in a RAID 1. Thanks for the replies
