Selecting Scratch Disks
The Scratch Disk preferences are available to help you get the best performance out of
yourcomputerbylettingyouchooseoneormoreharddrivesforscratchoperations.When
your computer doesn't have enough RAM to perform an operation, Illustrator uses free
space on any available drive, known as a Scratch Disk. Illustrator runs faster when you
divide the Scratch Disk workload. Scratch operations are performed on your hard drive
and take place when Illustrator is using one of its many filters and adjustments. Illustrat-
or detects and displays all available disks in Plug-ins & Scratch Disks preferences, where
you can select the disks you want to use. By assigning additional hard drives to the task,
you speed up Illustrator's overall performance. Scratch Disk changes take effect the next
time you start Illustrator.
