Reply With QuoteStick the new HDD in an external firwire box and use that. Use the HDD in the Mac to just be the operating system and programs drive. Write audio to the external.
The bottleneck in the laptop is the cpu fsb.
10,000 RPM hard drive VS 7,500 RPM hard drive Does it make a big difference? I have an macbook but can only have 2 gigs of ram. That is the max the laptop can have. I have a 250gig 7500 rpm hard drive. I am running Logic 7, synthogy piano, and want to buy ocean way drums but scared as my system already gets overloaded sometimes. If I buy a 10,000 rpm hard drive will it solve my problems or will it not make a significant difference?
thanks,

I agree with Greener. You want two drives, one for OS, one for recorded audio. The extra speed of the 10k drive will allow you to stream more tracks for multi tracking. I forked out the extra cash for a 10k RPM drive, and get 24 tracks simultaneously recording with the drive chirping 1/3 of the time. It may not have been worth it. 7200 should be fine for just about anything you want to do.
How about one of the new solid state drives?

Crazy! $3000 for a 128GB solid state drive? The new MacBook air is coming with 128GB SS drive and it retails for just over $2000.
Shhhhhh! Be Vewwy, vewwy quiet! I'm hunting pirates. Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh.
8gb micro sd.
That makes me freak out.
MacBook air makes me think about what's in the heads of some people.
It might seem like a fools idea right now. I can't wait till more company's start moving toward Solid State drives. It's one of the biggest bottlenecks in a computer. Imagine a computer that is virtually instant on. That is the MacBook Air. I would love to see an entire OS ship as a Solid State drive instead of on DVDs.Originally Posted by Greener

But there is nothing that's instantly on.
My typewriter is just as powerful. It's always on.
I too look forward to an interesting and better SSD world. Just don't get me started on Macs. :P
I am saving all my audio data to the hard drive. I am using usb 2.0 instead of firewire because my firebox is using the firewire input. Should I get a firewire hub and run both firewire?
oh no he didn't!!!
