Internal Mac HD
Hi guys,
I'm running PT 10 on a macbook pro 2.66 with an internal 320gb hd 5400rpm. I also use an Mbox pro with an external hd 7200rpm. I'd like to change the internal HD and buy a 7200 rpm one. Which model should I look for? 16mb chache? Also, it is good to partition the internal HD? Thank yo very much in advance! |

Recording to the system drive is unsupported and not recommended either. A secondary drive is always the best solution. Also partitioning will only make things worse. As the drive heads have twice as much to do. So if want a second drive look into putting one in your optical bay. That's what I've done and love it. :)

Re: Internal Mac HD
Sure, I use the external hd for sample and recording. I just want to change my 5400rpm internal drive to a 7200 rpm one.
So make a partition of the internal one is not good? |

Partitioning is def not a good idea for recording and i thought that is what you were thinking. And it really doesn't have a lot of benefits for most things. One exception being partitioning the HD for two OS's and then it's a necessity and not a performance thing. So if you are looking for performance I'd look into the Seagate Momentus XT hybrid drives. Partition only if necessary IMO.

Re: Internal Mac HD
Does your Macbook have Firewire? I'm pretty sure an external firewire drive is the best way to go.
