Hard Drive Choices in 2020
Hi Everyone,
Recently my Raid 0 array took a dump (2x 2TB 7200rpm Seagates) and freaked me out. I got it back working again after reseating the drives in the Mac Pro 5,1, so far so good.
Now Pro Tools is throwing -9073 errors all over the place even though my sessions are in the Disk Cache. I transferred a session across to my boot drive (see signature) and it works fine, no -9073 errors.
What's the next step? Replace the Raid 0 array with new spinners? Replace it with 2.5" SSDs? Or get anoyther PCIe M.2 board with more slots and run my sessions of a smaller NVMe drive?
Your advice is, as ever, greatly appreciated.
Best,
James
