If you're getting a 2.5" WD Black: http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-2-5-In.../dp/B005EIGUD4
If you go with a SSD, you'll want to get a different enclosure that has an internal SATA III connection.

It is 2105! Why then does Pro Tools still recommend (need?) more than one hard drive? Is this really necessary for even basic tasks with modern 7 core processors running at speeds greater than 3 GHz with more than 16G byte RAM. If so, why? Will that ever change?

And why would the speed of the CPU or amount of memory in a computer have any effect on how fast data is written to a physical disk drive? And actually putting audio data on a physical disk is the core of what a DAW does. If you are using spinning disk drives then you better follow Avid's advice... but which yes has not kept up with modern SSDs, especially PCIe SSDs. |

It doesn't matter if you have a dual core or a 12 core, or 1 GB RAM or 32 GB RAM. Hard drives can only read and write so much information simultaneously. Hard drives are not expensive, and having a dedicated session drive is the best practice for all DAWs, not just Pro Tools.

You may help them more by getting them a robust SSD. Saving $50 or $100 or so seems a weak trade off vs. better performance, portability, robustness and less power use.... Especially robustness when used with a laptop, lugged around, dropped etc.

My Dell 8700 has an internal 256G SSD and a SATA 6GB/s 2TB 7200 RPM hard drive. Which should I use for my session files?
