I probably will add one at some point, maybe external firewire, for the
ability to move it about. But if you only use a few tracks it doesn't
seem to be vital like it used to be.
OT: If your using modern SCSI disks it can pay to turn down the disk
elevator size with elvtune - otherwise the disks elevtator fights with
the kernels and it can effect your throughput quite badly.

I think about
wether i buy another IDE-HD and spread the installation on 2 disks to
get more bandwith
This is the most sensible option IMO.
You will always get xruns if you are recording to the same drive as your
OS. Even the same ide cable can cause problems. It's best to have two
disks hda (OS) and hdc (recording).
