Hi Anton

Journalling is not recommended for audio drives as it can impair performance, however it is supposed to offer extra protestion to your directory structure should there be a problem during the moment a file is being written to the drive.

For this reason I use journalling on my system drive but not on any audio drives. If you are going to work with a single drive I suggest you try it with journalling on and see if the performance meets your expectations.
