Default Re: Audio session hard drive size?

Your protools sessions go on the audio drive. Every session will include all the audio for that session. A few dozen songs will chew up an 80 gig drive plenty quick so plan on archiving sessions to DVD or external drives(and "clean out" un-used audio files to keep the archive files from getting huge). Some commented on partitioning to spread a session over 2 drives-THIS IS NOT CORRECT. You do not want to spread your audio over 2 drives as protools works hard enough without searching multiple drives. Spreading data over 2 drives is what RAID is all about and protools does not support RAID(yet).
