  Hard Disk Drive Config for Mac Pro

  Posted by Andrew Clark on August 3, 2010 at 9:20 pm

  Hello –

  With the (4) HDD bays in a 2009 Mac Pro, what would be some optimal configurations using PPro CS5?

  Stuff that will be edited:

  Video – source material primarily 8bit source materials ranging from Hi-8 to AVCHD.

  Audio – 16bit source material

  Other – Ae, Ai, Ps stuff

  Would an external array be needed as well?

  Appreciate any suggestions / advice.

  Adobe recommends at least three drives.
  1 – OS and Apps
  2 – Project and Temps
  3 – Source

  If you can, put your temps on a fourth drive.
  Note, all of these drives should be internal or at least ‘fast’, SATA or something like that.
  That is to say, I’m not sure GigabitLAN would be ideal, never tested it.

  Just some thoughts.
