So, if there is no FireWire on the new portable macs which is the suggested best solution regarding hard drives?

Thunderbolt is great and if there is no thunderbolt then in wsome cases USB3 works also with external drives as long as the hard drive is fast and newer.

I'm not familiar with thunderbolt. Does it connect to FireWire drives or do you need a thunderbolt drive?

The internal PCIe SSD on current MacBook Pro is so fast, faster than just about any HDD or external SSD that you are likely better off just recording to that internal SSD, and having VI samples there as well if they will fit. Which is why it is usually worth paying the Apple tax and getting a MBP with the largest internal (currently 1TB) SSD. At least start by trying this and see if it works for you. If you have not purchased a MBP already I would hold off and wait for the new ones coming, current models are embarrassingly showing their age, new models need to have Thunderbolt 3, and hopefully larger memory and SSD options. |

Just so I know I'm getting this correctly: with the new MBPs we can recording directly onto the SSDs? Does the same hold for the MBAir?

This applies to current/recent MacBook Pros and Airs only, older ones had slower PCIe SSDs and SATA SSD cards, which physically all look similar (Apple proprietary versions of NGFF/M.2 based cards) but are very different. I certainly would not recommend this on older SATA SSD card versions. |
