Tips for Audio/Video Editing

Here are some tips that may optimize performance. We also recommend to
review your editing card documentation for additional information.
Use FastTrak66 as D: or other non-bootable drive in a Striped
Array
For A/V editing, keep the original system boot drive on the standard IDE con-
troller as C: drive. Partitioning software such as FDISK will see the array as
one physical drive, D: drive (or later). This will prevent file fragmentation and
provide better accessibility to the array.
