If you need much space, go with fat.. if you have a small disk and do not realy care.. go with eos :)

I tried both.

Fat:

slow...after turn on the sampler i must wait before i can mount my drive

Eos:

extremly fast, an i can mount it after the both!

But i dont know...my drive is a 20GB ide drive, and I wont plug it into my pc...

maybe I should by an another drive to my scsi rack:D

Well.. dont remember the maximum eos size, but i think its 18gb.. so you will only lose 2gb. Which makes eos a good alterative. My fat drive mounts during boot, so i dont understand what you are talking about.

I havent tested too much the access time.. but maybe some others here can share experiences with fat vs eos?

How did you set up this? Is your drive internal SCSI or internal IDE?
