best place for LR catalog (.lrcat) file?
i'm putting new pc running vista , trying figure out best place lr catalog (lrcat) file. pc has multiple hard drives follows:
c: os , apps
d: non-photo files (docs, mp3s, etc)
e: photo files
f: video files
all drives comparable in read/write speed. lightroom app installed on c: drive, , lr catalog consist of images on e: drive. while working in lr, listen mp3s stored on d: drive. i'm assuming best place lrcat file f: drive (since seldom access drive while working in lr). make sense? or should lrcat file go somewhere else?
on side note, on last pc, had lrcat file in dedicated scratch drive (for ps), i'm doing less , less in photoshop these days, , new system have 12gb of ram, decided without dedicated scratch drive new system.
any advise appreciated.
your previews folder reside next .lrcat, can grow size. said, i'd inclined keep .lrcat file on boot drive if have plenty of room there. if you're concerned running out of space there, drive videos next choice.
