I was a PC user and finally moved to Mac's at Pro Tools 7. The fact of using the Disk Utility to clone the Boot drive in my Mac is amazing and a relief.
I have 2 Mac Pro Towers 2010 one is a 6 core 3.33 - 48GB RAM the other is 12 core 3.33 32 GB Ram and 2 Mac mini's. I bought both towers used and they work everyday for 6-8 hrs a day. I am using PT 12.5.2 soon to move to 12.6.1 and Sierra. The CPU of the 6 core with 50-80 tracks would hover around 45% 50%. All SSD drives boot and record. One Seagate 7200 2TB for samples and files. 4th drive is a boot Maverick OSX. I boot to that and clone my main drive to a USB3. I added a sonnetech USB 3.0 card which works great. I love my towers.
The towers only do audio, no other software. I use a PC host (vmware image Win7pro) for photoshop/email/surfing and everything else.
