    I’m thinking of installing it in my MBP via Data Doubler.

    MBP 8,1 -13 inch late 2011
    2.4ghz i5
    16gb 1333MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 3000 – 512mb

    My media is ProRes422 1080p 24fps.

    I just need it too be good enough to perform on location cutting for EPKs, Webdocs etc….

    ——-

    Would love to have this much capacity but the I’m concerned about possible speed issues.

    Thanks in Advance,

    -p

    They don’t call it a media doubler for good reason. You should never ever consider a 5400 rpm hard drive for video storage and playback, unless that is you want to buy twice… Once as a mistake, 2nd to rectify that mistake.
