I am setting up a good digital darkroom computer for photoshop and wonder about the hard drive set-p. I have two 7200 8ogb HDDs a 7200 60gb and a slower 40gb for possible us. The OS and PS are on a partition of one of the 80gb drives.
Any suggestions?

If you have extra drives you don't want to use to store files just set them up for scratch disks only and PS should be quite happy. What are the specs for the PC running PhotoShop?

I would get the fastest drives with the largest caches you can afford as the old ones will just bog you down.
