New subject: Hard drive for "/" should be also 7200 rpm?

 Hi all,

 for testing reasons I've installed Arch-Linux on a second HD with 
 5400 rpm.
 The recording and production is on the first HD with 7200 rpm, 
 openSuSE
 10.2 and kernel-rt. After some work with Arch-Linux it seems that it 
 could
 be the next platform for the DAW. My question is if a HD-7200 rpm is 
 also
 necessary for the system to prevent x-runs? For sure, the HD-7200 rpm 
 is
 mounted for recording.

Unless your 5400 rpm hard drive is too slow, there shouldn't be any 
reason
not to use it. 5400 vs 7200 was something you had to worry about
in 1995, not now.
