Or, invest in the smallest usable one, on the theory that if it fails it will be less annoying to replace if it contains nothing but the operating system and applications. (Although I guess, given you need to take it into the Apple Store anyway it would be a pain either way...)

Re: New Mac Pro (7.1)
According to the business guy at my local Apple store the coronavirus has hit production of Mac Pros. Delivery time has gone out to a month. Mac Pros for markets outside the US are completely made in China apparently.
The Pegasus J2i looks like a handy addition. 8TB spinner for backups and I don’t see why you couldn’t add a SSD in an adapter for Pro Tools sessions. It doesn’t use up a PCIe slot. Edit: I’m wondering if one of these would work in the J2i. It would need a 3.5” adapter of course: https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-S3...s%2C159&sr=8-6 In my case I’ll be adding a Sonnet M.2 4x4 (they’re back ordered too it seems) or the OWC equivalent for sample streaming. If anyone has the Sonnet M.2 4x4 could you comment on how noisy the fan is?

Mac Pro are assembled in Austin, Texas, US but components may come from China

Re: New Mac Pro (7.1)
If I am understanding correctly , I would probably mirror what I have in current MP. Which means I would order it with a 500 GB SSD Apple installed boot dive ( 256 is doable but I am already at about 230 GB on my boot drive) and then get two third party PCIe SS'D (likely get a 1 TB for PT session storage and 2 TB for FCPX storage)

500 isn’t currently and option. Go for at least the 1TB. Honestly, the 2TB option is. Great deal for only $400 more.

Re: New Mac Pro (7.1)
To anyone who already have/own a Mac Pro Rack version:
I would be forever grateful, if you could find the width and height of the Mac Pro Rack version. I am not talking about the outer dimensions of the front plate (which is listed on Apple's website) but the dimensions (height and width) of the case itself. Apple has been giving me the run-around on the phone today with no one being able to answer such a simple question. Thanks in advance Peter Juul Kristensen

OR is having the PT sessions on a separate drive from the boot drive no longer considered standard practice advisable ?
