Re: Pro Tools and operating systems revisited, sorta
I'm not sure either. I only have one drive, and I've not noticed anything bad.

Right. I'll start doing that one myself then.

That doesn't mean Pro Tools won't work. It'll record fine for limited numbers of tracks with few plug-ins and relatively short lengths. The more you use the internal drive, the more it will become fragmented. While that isn't generally a problem under OS X, it all depends on the volume of work we're talking about. Put it this way, for small things, it's OK but not advisable. A studio would never record to the boot-up drive. It's asking for trouble. I would follow the manufacturer's recommendations and keep the boot-up drive and media drive separate. cheers, Slau On Jan 3, 2013, at 8:54 AM, Krister Ekstrom wrote: Ahem, not sure i catch your drift there.
