iMac Pro Disk Space and Pro Tools
Hello Guys,
I know it's a subjective question with no basic rule but I was wondering what you might say .... How much disk space I should leave empty on the internal drive to remain within the optimal imac performance ?? I am really tempted into installing some libraries on my internal drive since it's super fast working with those plugins as I am seeing ... Kindly advise ... Best (One a side note, I got Omnisphere and Trilian installed on my internal drive of 1 TB, I was considering buying Keyscape and if by any chance I had to install keyscape on an external drive ... would i have to move the whole folder to an external drive?) Best

Re: iMac Pro Disk Space and Pro Tools
Doesn't matter on Flash Memory. I load up my libraries. I just keep about 100GB free as a rule....just the thing I do on my iMac Pros. Great machines BTW.
