New Mac Pro Needs A New Internal Hard Drive
I just got my new Mac Pro (Quad Core 2.8) and I want to install a good internal drive for audio record/playback as I'm upgrading to PT9.
What do you guys suggest for a new drive? Does it need to run @ 10k like the old days? Does it need to be partitioned? I looked at the compatibility page and it was pretty non-specific. Looking for some direction. Thanks so much for your help!

WD Black
partitioning: not need but if you want to only use on partition at a time (don't span them, and there not backups)

Here's a great deal on the 2TB western digital
Or they have a 1TB if you don't need that much space.
