I have just one 512 gig ssd drive and that
works fine, but I have thought about removing the DVD drive and putting in
another SSD drive for the audio and as a backup. I wouldn't do that with
mechanical drives in a laptop because that would be a lot of heat, but the
ssd drives run much cooler. I'm surprised you've gotten away with using a
usb 2 drive for streaming audio. Maybe on a mac it just works better than
on a pc. I certainly would go with thunderbolt if possible. What kind of
audio interface will he be using? If he is using a usb audio interface, a
usb drive really wouldn't be a good idea because there just wouldn't be
enough bandwidth for both.

Either from the avid webstore or a local dealer. The avid website can point
you to these as well. Will pretty much cost you the same either way.

256GB Should be plenty sufficient for an internal drive. Avid recommends
FW
on OSX for use with PT, that being said i been using a USB 2 drive with
no
issues. Also i am most lit an audio guy and a rarely record more than 2
tracks at the same time. However i have mixed projects with 24+ tracks
streaming back off said USB drive with no issues. As some will say, Your
milage may vary when not using the recommended specs. If they can afford
it
a Thunderbolt drive will be as fast as any internal drive So thats also
another option.

Hi guys a friend of mine is specking up a mac book pro for protools. he
is
going for an i 7 processor with 16 gig of ram.
a couple of small questions. i sujested to him to use an external drive,
and not to use the main hard drive on the mac for recording. So he is
asking if a 256 gig internal drive would be big enough if he was adding
an
external drive. I would have thought it would be, but thought i'd ask
anyway.
the other question is what type of external drive should he be running.
.
Is it better to for a u s b 3 external drive, or would thunderbolt be
better. or a firewire drive.
