Hard drives?
Ha sorry for this third post in a day, but i am still setting up and have lots of questions. Ok so as far as hard drives how much memory do I need for the program and how much for the audio? Also i have a 500 gb mybook usb 2.0 right now and was wondering if that would work for putting pro tools on.

Re: Hard drives?
Pro Tools gets installed to your MAIN (usually C:) or SYSTEM drive, the secondary hard drive is for recording/playback. And no, USB won't work. The SIZE of the drive depends solely on hoiw many sessions you intend to have on it. What's more critical is that it's a 7200-rpm drive.

Re: Hard drives?
The MyBook USB drive will only be appropriate for backing up your sessions not for running them. Pro Tools software must be installed on to your system drive

Re: Hard drives?
A Seagate FireWire/eSATA drive would do the job nicely. I have one, just can't get PTLE to install.
