HARD DRIVE CONSIDERATIONS

SEPARATE DRIVE FOR SAMPLE CONTENT

Because GVI performance depends on hard disk performance, TASCAM

strongly recommends you dedicate a separate physical hard drive to your

sample content.

Creating a separate partition for sample content on your system drive is not

the same as a separate physical drive.

DEFRAGMENTATION

Make sure you defragment your sample data drive after re-arranging the

data on it. For office applications defragmentation isn’t as crucial, but for

audio and video applications defragmentation remains very important for

optimum performance.

Before defragmenting, it is a good idea to make a back up copy of the data

on the drive being defragmented.
