I'm running all my 5 accounts on one PC.
Right now i have them all on my 150gb 10.000rpm raptor drive.
Do you guys think it will be smoother if i move 2 or 3 of the wow copies over to the other drive ? It's a 7500rpm one.

I run my mainwow on Raptor and the 4 slaves on a regular 7200rpm drive, first time using zeppeling I had trouble getting all my slaves to load before the zep drove off again, so yeah, split 'em up.

kk, now i'm running 1 main and 1 slave on the raptor, and 3 slaves on the 7500rpm.
Got the data folders symboliclinked.
Did i do this right ? :huh:

Just wondering: Wouldn't symlinking the data folders cross-disk kinda defeat the purpose of having the directories separated in the first place?
You should only symlink the data dirs on the same disk.
Let's say you have 5 chars and 3 disks:
disk1: wow1
disk2: wow2, wow3 (wow2 and wow3 share data folder)
disk3: wow4, wow5 (again, those two sharing the data folder)
So, your main is using hd1, toon2 and 3 are using hd2 and toon4 and 5 are using hd3.
If you two hds, use one for the main, and the other for all the other toons.
