Re: hard drive size
 

Can anyone say what is the largest hard drive I need just for the OS and Pro Tools plus plugins?
Thanks

Re: hard drive size
 

largest or smallest
full OS or minimal OS
are you including VI samples in that

Guess I worded that wrong,what is the smallest hard drive I can use for Mac Pro full install OSX and Pro Tools and VI samples and can it be a SSD DRIVE?

Re: hard drive size
 

I've used a 64GB SSD but no VI samples

Re: hard drive size
 

Where do you store your samples?

So what size SSD would be ok for what I want to do here?

Oops, please ignor the above, saw the link after post.

If you need to put sample libraries on the C: drive, find out how much space they require and then add 128GB, which should leave room for any surprises. Otherwise, I would use a 128GB SSD and use a separate drive for sample libraries(i use a WD Black 2TB for my samples). Yes, you COULD use a 64GB SSD as a system drive(and I have before), but the price for a 256GB on sale isn't too hard to swallow. I am currently using a 500GB SSD, but the actual used space is more like 220GB, but I am no where near as diligent as many of the other users here when it comes to space efficiency(I'm too busy backing things up:p)
