Do You Need a Separate Hard Disk for Audio Files?in Logic
In general, the more that a hard drive has to do, the less performance it has
left over for audio. In other words, if your hard drive needs to read system
files as well as audio files, it needs to divide its attention and not focus on
audio file performance. If you have a hard drive devoted to nothing but
recording audio files, that hard drive could dedicate 100 percent of its performance
to audio-related tasks.
Clearly, having a separate hard drive for audio seems advantageous, but is it
absolutely necessary? The answer to this depends on how audio-intensive your
projects are. Even a slower hard disk should be able to run both system software
and approximately 16–24 tracks of audio. If your needs are modest, you
really shouldn’t need a separate hard drive for your Audio Tracks. On the
other hand, professional studios that need to record anything from solo singers
all the way to full orchestras often have entire banks of hard drives. If you regularly
work with songs in excess of 24 tracks, or you can easily afford it, you
should go ahead and buy a separate hard drive for audio files.
========================================
以上是原文
中文的大致意思是，用一个单独的硬盘来录音或者是存储音色会比不分区效果好。
但是有没有必要，如果你的工程文件一般只用到不到24轨，那么没有必要用单独的硬盘，如果超过24轨的话就有必要使用单独的硬盘存放声音文件！
=========================================
我想不仅仅是logic,这个原理应该同样适用于其它音乐软件！
所以我想mac的同学还是再用一块硬盘来存放音色，以及录音文件比较好
ps.如果将硬盘分区的话是不是也相当于使用一块单独的硬盘呢？
