Harddisk or memory was created by Edward
Hi,

I have a question regarding harddisk and memory. I know a lot of memory is an advantage, but how about a fast harddisk?? Is there a lot of writing to the harddisk or is this stored temporarily on the memory?? I consider building a new pc for caelinux.

I would definitely recommend a fast harddrive - perhaps a solid state. I love my SD, but since case files can turn pretty big pretty fast, you should buy the biggest SD you can afford. That or a WD Raptor or setting up RAID on two or more disks.

Thankyou Claws,

I was thinking the same about ssd, but that is only for running the program, for storing I was thinking about a normal hdd. Is this possible???

I use my SSD almost exclusively, but for rare cases when project files exceed several Gb, I use a temp folder on a separate HDD. This folder can be set in the .astk file or aster config file - I forget right now, but you should be able to find this information here or on the Aster forum.

You will never regret getting a SSD ;)

Edit: forgot about RAM - get 4Gb MINIMUM :)
