External Drive for Symphony 6 running on macbook pro
I am currently looking for a fast external drive that is compatible with Symphony 6.
I’m running it on a macbook pro (2.4GHZ i7). I’m looking purely for speed as I will have a separate Backup drive.Is thunderbolt a viable option? If so, what brands? Or, is e-sata still the preferred external storage?
Thanks in advance.

If you have thunderbolt, go thunderbolt. Avid recognises any locally connected drives. Network drives need some jigger pokery. I have always had success with G-Tech drives and they have just launched a range of thunderbolts. When you say fast, how fast do you mean it needs to be? Reading DNxHD185, or uncompressed HD, or 4k Raw?

Andrew,
I’ll most likely be using DNxHD185 but would like the option to connect to Red files via AMA, although It’s probably wishful thinking on my part.
Thanks for the quick response, I really appreciate it.
