Default Re: How do I speed up PT importing?
Bill, striped SATA drives will result in a considerably faster system overall but would make little difference to PT's import. The PT import is processor bound unless something is badly configured or wrong with the system - ie. the CPU sits in the high 90% range while the drives do very little.

Edit - CPU should sit below 50% in a dual core or 25% in a quad, as the PT import is single threaded - but I don't know this for sure, I'm still running an AMD64 single core.
